Description

Grosvenor House is an early or mid-19th century office building with a garage at the rear, originally a private house. The front elevation is solid and rendered, while the left side wall is of exposed stone rubble. The roof is not visible from the street, and there is a rendered chimney in the centre of the ridge, alongside a red brick chimney on the left side wall.

The building is arranged with a three-storey centre block flanked by two-storey wings, and includes a basement. The centre block has a two-window width, with wings recessed by one window. To the right of the ground storey is an entrance porch featuring flanking pilasters, supporting an entablature with egg-and-dart decoration and a tall parapet with panelled pedestals at each end. The round-arched doorway has a patterned fanlight, leading to a seven-panelled door with an old letterbox, featuring two tiers of three panels and a single-panel middle tier. A matching inner door and fanlight are present. The centre of the ground storey appears to have been altered in the late 19th or early 20th century to incorporate a shop front with a cart entrance under the left wing. Upper storey windows are sash windows with bars; the second storey has six panes per window, and the third storey has two panes. The centre second-storey windows have eared architraves. Moulded cornices are present above both upper storeys, topped by a low parapet.

The interior was not fully inspected, but a wooden geometrical staircase with thin square balusters is located at the end of the passage leading from the entrance porch.
