Description
No. 24 Basset Road is a house, now used as an office, likely built in the mid-19th century and altered over time. The building is finished in stucco, probably over rubble, with a pantile roof. It has a double-depth plan with a wing extending to the right-hand rear corner. The house is two storeys high and features three symmetrical bays. There is a shallow band at the first floor, and the porch is supported by fluted Doric columns and pilasters, featuring a triglyph frieze and a mutule cornice. This porch protects a doorway that has set-in fluted quarter-columns and a recessed four-panel door with an overlight showcasing intersecting semicircular tracery. Each floor has two 16-pane sash windows, and there is a 20-pane sash window above the porch. The roof is hipped with projecting eaves.
At the rear of the right-hand side wall, there is an attached one-bay receding wing that is slightly lower, which includes a ground floor window with a four-centred arch and cusped Gothick tracery. Inside, the doorways have architraves with fillet and roll-moulding, and Tudor roses in the corners. The right-hand front room features a moulded plaster cornice, and there is a doglegged staircase with scrolled brackets, stick balusters, and a wreathed curtail.
