Description
Villa Esplanade is a stucco villa dating from around 1840 to 1850, built in a Gothic style. It is asymmetrical in design, with two main stories and attics. The building features gables adorned with bargeboards and finials. There are canted and rectangular two-story bay windows with mullioned lights and panelled parapets, along with gabled dormers. The south front includes a square, five-story tower with a pyramid slate roof. A circular stair turret on the second floor extends to the corner, featuring two-light, narrow, round-headed windows divided by colonettes. Some of the other windows have dripmoulds. Later additions have been made, and a canted bay on the south front incorporates an iron first-floor balcony. The villa is considered picturesque. Villa Esplanade, together with Nos 1 to 19 (consec), formerly the Villa Esplanade Hotel, Nos 20 to 29 (consec) with the Esplanade Hotel, Belmont Road, and the Prince of Wales Hotel, Prince of Wales Terrace, form a group.
