118, Walcot Street

No. 118 Walcot Street is a house that now includes a shop, built around 1765 with 20th-century additions. The building is made of limestone ashlar and features a slate mansard roof that is hipped to the right. It has three dormers on the front and one on the right side, with stacks at the rear topped with hand-thrown chimney pots.

The house is three stories tall and is part of a row, facing Walcot Street and Chatham Place. The front has three windows, with moulded architraves surrounding the six-over-six pane sash windows on the upper floor. The central window on the first floor has a cornice and is flanked by windows with pediments. On the Chatham Row side, there is a tripartite window on the second floor and a Venetian window on the first floor, featuring radial glazing bars in the upper sash. The building has a coped parapet that extends over the party wall to the left and over the Chatham Row facade to the right, with a cornice returning to the right as well. The right corner of the ground floor has a canted shape with a projecting stone porch. A 20th-century shop front has been added.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this house was designed as a pair with No. 14 Chatham Row, serving as entrance buildings to Chatham Row behind. This design was part of a deliberate architectural effort in an area that had not seen many fashionable developments before. The construction date may coincide with Pitt the Elder becoming Earl of Chatham in 1766.
