Description
This is a Neo-Georgian style house, originally one dwelling but now subdivided, built around 1890. It was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield and briefly let to the American novelist Henry James. The house is L-shaped and constructed of red brick with stone dressings, topped with a tiled roof and three large red brick chimney stacks. The front elevation has three dormers, external brick chimney stacks and an angled porch with an L-wing. The porch features a doorcase with a frieze, weatherhood topped with a half ball finial and console brackets, and a parapet with two ball finials. An oval window, a six-light window, and a doorcase with a six-panel door and a rectangular fanlight with an oval design are positioned under a pentice. The garden elevation incorporates seven windows and two increasingly projecting wings. Three hipped dormers are visible. The first floor features six twelve-pane sash windows flanked by shutters, while the ground floor has three tripartite windows. A right-side bay has a tile-hung first floor and a half-glazed door flanked by built-in side lights. An attached single-story brick wing is also present. Inside, the entrance hall has a chequered marble floor, and there's a well staircase with turned balustrades, two-panelled doors, a brick fireplace with a stone lintel, and a ceiling with Adam-style decoration.
