Sneyd Park House

Sneyed Park House is a late 1880s house, built by Henry Dare Bryan, and now converted into flats. It is constructed of squared coursed Pennant stone with limestone dressings, featuring two central stone ridge stacks and a double Roman hipped roof. The building is of eclectic late-Victorian style and has a double-depth plan. It is three storeys high with a four-window front. The facade is decorated with pilasters, terracotta bands above the lintels, and a large porte cochere one bay from the left. The porte cochere has clasping pilasters, open semicircular arches over granite responds with foliate capitals, and a balustrade. Beneath the arches is a semicircular-arched doorway with a plate-glass fanlight and margin lights, a six-panel half-glazed door, and an inner door and fanlight. The pilasters are rusticated at ground floor level, diapered on the first floor, and incorporate paired consoles within a frieze of rectangular attic panels and a dentil cornice, topped by 20th-century brick eaves. The ground-floor windows have stilted segmental arches with consoles to the cornices, while the first-floor windows are flat-arched with cornices featuring crests. The attic windows are three-light, mullioned, and have plate-glass sashes.

The interior includes a large hall, from which the original staircase has been removed following conversion to flats. A rear-left room features a strapwork plaster ceiling with square pendants, a large fireplace with helical Corinthian columns set against a swept pediment and cartouche, square columns to the corners of the bays, three-quarter panelling, a modillion cornice. A rear-right room retains a built-in dresser. The house was originally furnished by Gillows, who had recently developed Queen Anne style houses on the Chelsea Embankment, and was illustrated in The British Home Today.
