No. 1 And Attached Vaults

This is a shop with accommodation above, dating from around 1720 and the 18th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is likely that John Palmer designed the building around 1810.

The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, now painted, with some rendered sections to the rear. The front range has an asbestos slate roof behind a parapet, while the rear range has a gabled roof. A shared ashlar stack with clay pots rises from the party wall on the right, shared with No.2 New Bond Street Buildings, and a smaller ashlar stack rises from the gable wall on the left.

The front range forms part of the curved streetscape between Milsom Street and New Bond Street, with a splayed corner at the junction with Green Street. The left side elevation faces Green Street and incorporates an early 18th-century house. The front range is four storeys high with a basement, featuring a three-window arrangement. The first floor has six-over-six horned sash windows in moulded timber architraves; a similar window is on the splayed corner. The second floor has two plate glass sashes in plain reveals, with stone sills, and a blind window, with a six-over-six-sash window on the splay. On the third floor are a six-over-three-sash, a plate glass horned sash, and another blind window, all in plain reveals with stone sills, with a similar six-over-three-sash on the splay. The ground floor has a shopfront extending to the Green Street elevation. There are no windows in the basement. The front range has a lintel and moulded cornice over the second floor, a moulded eaves cornice, and a coped parapet that continues with Nos. 2 and 3 New Bond Street Buildings and No.15 New Bond Street, sloping down to the north side of New Bond Street. The Green Street elevation mirrors the front, with a three-window range. The first floor has a six-over-nine-sash window, while the second floor has two six-over-six-sashes, and the third floor has one six-over-three-sash. These, along with other blind windows, are in plain reveals with stone sills. Cornices are continued from the front elevation.

The rear range is three storeys high with an attic, and has a three-window front. The first floor has three small 20th-century casement windows, likely shortened to accommodate the shopfront. The second floor has three six-over-six sash windows. The attic has an early nine-over-nine sash and a blind window in matching reveals. The ground floor has a shopfront echoing the front. The rear range features moulded strings over the first and second floors and over the windows in the gable to the attic, as well as a coped gable. The rear elevation is not visible.

The interior was not inspected during the listing evaluation.

Green Street was laid out in 1716, and the house would have been built shortly after. New Bond Street Buildings is likely contemporary with the north side of New Bond Street, with leases granted in 1805, accompanied by designs from the City Architect, John Palmer.
