Description

No. 4 Brunswick Place is a house, now converted into flats, dating from around 1783, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It was developed by John Fielder and Thomas and James Beale. The front of the building is faced with limestone ashlar, while the lower part of the walls, behind basement windows, are constructed from rubble. There is a mansard roof, covered with artificial slate on the front, concealing the rear roof covering. A prominent ashlar stack with early clay pots is situated on the front, abutting a large stack on the adjacent property, No. 5 Brunswick Place.

The house is part of a quasi-symmetrical composition with projecting pavilions at either end of Brunswick Place, and a consistent design along the street. It features a staircase at the front.

The three-storey, attic, and basement building has a two-window front. The first floor has two plate glass sash windows, which are set at an angle to the wall. The second floor mirrors this design. On the ground floor, a plate glass sash window is on the left side; to the right there is a 19th-century ashlar porch, projecting over the access point below the building. The porch contains a six-panel door, likely original to the house, with raised and fielded panels, a cast iron lion's mask knocker, a small window to the right, and stone steps. The porch has a plinth, moulded cornice, a blocking course with a wrought iron balustrade, and blind sides. The basement has two sash windows with a continuous stone sill, a 20th-century door with an overlight filling the space under the access point, and no external steps to a small area. A double dormer window is set into the roof, with a six/six window on the left and a two/two window on the right. The front also features a band course above the ground floor, weathered stone sills to the first floor, a bracketed eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. A lead hopperhead is positioned at the eaves on the right side. The rear elevation is not visible.

The interior of the building has not been inspected.

Attached to the front are wrought iron railings and a gate, with decorative tops set on limestone bases.
