Description

Netley House is a building that has been converted into offices. The central section dates back to 1786 and was reconstructed after a fire in 1860, during which end angle bays were added. These bays were transformed into two-storey wings in the 1890s. The building features a red brick central range, with stucco cladding and incised detailing under hipped plain tile roofs.

The structure is three storeys high in the central block, with two-storey wings over a basement. The symmetrical five-bay central range has a shallow projecting central bay, with single bay wings and angle bays that extend through both floors. It has a modillion eaves cornice and plat bands above the basement, ground, and first floors. The central pediment and moulded cornice are above the side wings, which also feature smaller pediments. The windows throughout are plate glass sash, with five windows on the first and second floors that have shallow balconies. The central window on the first floor is a three-light window with architrave surrounds, a cornice hood, and a segmental pediment above the central light. There are four windows on the ground floor, each with scroll balconies.

At the front, there is a central portico with a flat roof, accessed by a flight of steps, and has D-shaped ends to the balustrade walls. The portico is in the Doric style, featuring square piers and four columns that support a frieze with guttae and triglyphs, along with an iron balcony above.

The rear of the building is made of red brick and includes a bowed bay at the center, with a blocked lunette in the pediment above and projecting side wings.

Inside, the building has been gutted, but the surviving staircase features twisted iron balusters in the hall, along with some fireplace surrounds. There is a possible historical association with the Cubitts. The building was undergoing restoration and conversion at the time of the last survey.
