Description

10 Claremont Park is a classical double villa designed by Thomas Hamilton around 1827. It is two stories high and has six main bays, flanked by two-bay screen walls. The villa is constructed from droved ashlar sandstone with polished ashlar dressings on the front, while the sides and rear are made of coursed and squared rubble. The building features a base course, a band course between the ground and first floors, a cill course for the first-floor windows, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. At the center of the main facade, there is a segmental pediment with an oval panel above the two central bays. The openings are architraved, and the ground floor windows have blind balustraded aprons.

The principal elevation is symmetrical, with paired entrance doors at the center leading to a bowed portico supported by paired Tuscan columns, flanked by two square outer columns. The entablature has a balustraded parapet, although some balusters are missing and have been replaced with bricks. The main block has a regular arrangement of windows, with a blocked window in the inner bay and a segmental carriage arch with voussoirs in the outer bay of the screen walls. There are also basement windows and rooflights.

The south elevation has not been seen since 1995, while the west elevation features a gable wall with a single square window at the attic level. All openings have plate glass timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has both piend and platform sections, with ashlar multi-flue wallhead stacks—corniced on the left and coped on the right—and ashlar skew copes. To the right, there is a two-leaf chevron-boarded carriage door.

The interior has not been seen since 1995. The boundary wall consists of a droved ashlar dwarf wall topped with ashlar coping, which runs along the street. The gatepiers are square-section droved ashlar with shallow pyramidal caps.
