Description
9-10 Battery Place is an earlier 19th century flatted house that was later converted in the 20th century. It is a symmetrical, two-storey building with an attic, designed in a plain classical style. The house is part of a terrace and features a projecting stair tower at the rear, which serves as the entrance for No 10. The exterior is constructed from coursed cherry-cocked rubble sandstone with polished sandstone margins. It has a raised base course, a lintel course beneath the corniced eaves, and a blocking course. The building also has pilastered quoins and tooled long and short rubble surrounds to the raised openings, which are painted at ground level, along with projecting cills and a pilastered entrance.
The northwest elevation, which is the entrance side, has steps leading up to a timber panelled door that is centered at the ground level. Above the door is a plate-glass fanlight, and the entrance is framed by a pilastered doorpiece that includes a plain frieze, cornice, block pediment, and a raised keystone. There are single windows at ground level in the outer left and right bays, and single windows in all bays at the first floor. The outer left and right bays feature 3-light piended canted dormers, while there is a central rooflight. The ground and first-floor glazing has been replaced, but the dormers retain 2-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slate, has raised stone skews, and features corniced apex stacks at the northeast and southwest ends, along with various circular cans.
The interior of the building was not seen in 1996. Additionally, there is a low coped cherry-cocked sandstone rubble boundary wall along Battery Place.
