No.22 And Attached Railings

No. 22 is a house, later divided into flats, built around 1808. It was designed by John Pinch the Elder and forms part of the development of Park Street. The front of the building is constructed from limestone ashlar, while the rear is a mix of limestone ashlar and rubble. It has a double-pile, parapeted roof hidden behind the parapet, with a coped party wall to the left featuring two brick and ashlar stacks and some original clay pots on both the front and rear.

The building has four storeys and a basement, with a three-window front. The first floor has three 19th-century sash windows with plate glass and horns, each with wrought iron balconettes similar to those on Nos. 19 and 20 Park Street. The ground floor has three matching windows, and to the left, a pair of three-panel doors with a round central panel and a decorative fanlight in a round-headed reveal. There is a single step leading to a pennant paved crossover with a cast iron footscraper. The basement has two six/six-pane sash windows with wrought iron security bars, a half-glazed door with a four-pane overlight, and steps with a wrought iron handrail, all set within a pennant paved area. A band course runs above the ground floor, serving as a sill band for the first-floor windows. There is also a sill band to the second floor, a frieze, a moulded cornice above the second floor, and a moulded eaves cornice, all topped by a coped parapet. The rear elevation features 19th-century sash windows and an early canted bay window on the ground floor, with six/six-pane sashes and an attached wrought iron railing. This bay window was extended upwards in ashlar during the 19th century. The interior was not inspected during the listing process.

Attached to the building are wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped tops on limestone bases. The property is part of the incomplete St James's Square development, initiated in 1790 when land was leased from Sir Peter Rivers Gay. The upper section of Park Street began under the design of John Palmer and was later continued by John Pinch after 1808, but was not completed as originally intended, and formerly terminated at All Saints Chapel.
