Maitland House

Maitland House is a house that has been converted into offices, built around 1820 with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was designed by Thomas Rickman for Alexander Maitland, a former merchant from London. The building is made of stuccoed brick and has a hipped slate roof. It features a rectangular double-depth layout with a rear wing on the right and a later addition on the rear left.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical front with three bays. It has an offset plinth, a string course at the level of the first-floor sills, a crowning cornice, and a parapet. The ground floor includes a central entrance porch in the Roman Doric style, with square piers and columns on the outer corners supporting an entablature adorned with laurel wreaths on the frieze and a blocking course. Inside the porch is a recessed entrance doorway with a rectangular fanlight. On either side of the porch, there are tripartite windows with later 19th-century horned sashes, framed by plain architraves that are shouldered on the outer sides, with a moulded cornice and projecting stone sills. The first floor has three later 19th-century horned sashes in their original openings, each with moulded architraves and sills that project along the line of the string course. The interior has not been inspected. A porte cochere that used to extend to meet railings was demolished in the mid-20th century.
