Description

Number 3 and the attached front garden walls and piers are a pair of attached houses, dating to approximately 1830. They may have been designed by Charles Dyer. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar, with a party wall and lateral chimney stacks, and a slate hipped roof. They are built on a double-depth plan and are in a Neoclassical style.

Each house is three storeys high, with a basement; the five-window range is symmetrical, with a four-window central section set forward, and one- and two-storey wings. There is a first-floor sill band to the centre, cornices, and parapets. The doorways on the inner side of the wings have architraves, rectangular overlights with diagonal and oval metal glazing bars, and six-panel doors. Single, tripartite windows are recessed within segmental arches on the inner ground floor, with pilaster jambs; plain windows are found above and in the wings, with six-pane sashes. A full-width cast-iron verandah is present, featuring stanchions with palmette capitals and acroteria. The rear elevation has three-light bows on the inner ground floor; No. 2 has an outer first-floor oriel.

The interior of No. 3 features an entrance hall divided by a semicircular arch from a rear, open-well staircase with stick balusters, a curtail and wreathed rail. The principal ground-floor rooms on the left have distyle-in-antis fluted scagliola Ionic columns, six-panel mahogany doors, curved rising shutters to the rear bows, and Greek Revival-style plaster mouldings. No. 2 has been subdivided into flats.

The attached front garden walls are constructed of ashlar Pennant stone, with cast-iron gate brackets on piers. These houses are part of a group of fine villas extending west from Litfield Place, with Camp House being another notable building also attributed to Dyer.
