Description
Nos. 33 and 34 Grosvenor Place are two houses, now serving as a restaurant and commercial premises, built in the late 18th century with a late 19th-century extension. The buildings are rendered and topped with slate roofs. They face east and have a long north-facing frontage, which features a stepped-forward glazed section.
The eastern front is divided into two distinct sections, each three storeys high and one window wide. The left section has an unusual canted bay made from a lightweight structure, featuring thin mullions and full-height glazing with decorative cresting, alongside a door to the right. The right section has a two-storey canted plain sash oriel with moulded cornices, situated above two two-light display windows. To the right, there is a one-storey glazed extension approximately two metres wide. The facade retains a moulded cornice, blocking course, and parapet, along with a central brick stack.
The long north-facing return is finished in scribed rendering and consists of three storeys with a window arrangement of three plus two plus two, all of which are sash windows. The second floor includes a painted-in nine-pane window, followed by four nine-pane windows and two four-pane windows. The first floor features a pair of French doors, a painted-in twelve-pane window, three twelve-pane windows (plus a small inserted extra light), and two four-pane windows. This part of the building has a good moulded cornice, blocking course, and parapet, along with a hipped roof that includes three stacks. The ground floor has a projecting section under a flat roof, featuring a continuous display frontage with large panes, recessed doors to the left, and a flush door to No. 33. Set back to the right in the main plane is a four-pane sash window and a door.
The building serves as a visual stop at the point where Augusta Place steps forward to Grosvenor Place.
