Description
This house, later a hotel and now flats, was designed by Amon Henry Wilds and built between 1827 and 1828. It was extensively rebuilt in the early 1990s. The building is constructed of stucco with an asbestos tile roof.
The main front, facing Sillwood Place, is three and four storeys high with dormers to the attic, featuring a four-window range to the centre, flanked by round-arched French windows with a springing band. There are also four canted bays to the first and second floors, each with a continuous balcony, topped by a parapet. Flat-arched dormers are present in the attic. The west front, on Montpelier Road, features an open segmental portico with Doric columns, a moulded storey band, and moulded architraves to the first- and second-floor windows. A cornise and deep parapet are also present, along with hipped and flat-roofed pavilions to the attic.
Nos. 4-7A Western Terrace, also designed by Amon Henry Wilds and refurbished in the early 1990s, are two storeys high with an attic and have a three-window range, apart from nos. 4 & 7A, which are two-window ranges. The terrace is designed around a projecting centrepiece with giant tetrastyle pilasters with Ammonite capitals supporting an entablature and pediment, with an attic above. Wings of one-window range flank this central section, featuring paired giant fluted pilasters with Ammonite capitals and acroteria decorated with shell-moulds. Flat-arched entrances are located in bays outside the wings for numbers 4 and 7A. Number 5 features a recessed ground floor and a shallow balcony to the first floor supported by antae with Greek key decoration, while number 7 has a flat-arched entrance recessed between pilasters and a segmental bay to the ground floor. Segmental-arched dormers are present in the mansard roof. The interior remains uninspected.
