Description
5, 6, 7 Warrender Park Terrace is a five-storey building with a basement and a mansard attic, likely designed by Edward Calvert around 1880. This five-bay tenement features baronial details and is constructed from squared and snecked pink sandstone, accented with polished ashlar dressings. The building has string courses at the first and fourth floors, and a corbel table above the third floor that steps down to the second floor, creating a segmental-arched hood between the third and fourth bays. It also has crowstepped gables and stop-chamfered reveals.
On the north entrance elevation, there are roll-moulded doorways with recessed polished granite colonnettes and foliate capitals in the second and fourth bays, leading to deep-set panelled doors with plate glass fanlights. Above these doorways, there are single windows in the second bay and a pedimented dormer head at the fourth floor. The doorway in the fourth bay is flanked on the left by a simpler roll-moulded doorway with a panelled door and plate glass fanlight, with bipartite windows above and a crowstepped dormer head for a single window at the fourth floor. The third bay features bipartite windows in the centre, with a hoodmoulding at ground level and a crowstepped dormer head for a single window at the fourth floor.
The building has full-height advanced gabled bays with bipartite windows and single lights in the returns of the outer left and right bays. Decorative dividing band courses are present above the ground floor, along with dividing string courses and a cornice above the third floor. The fourth floor features tripartite windows, and decorative semi-circular mouldings are set in the gable heads. The windows are plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has four linked and corniced stacks at the north wallhead, coped mutual stacks, stone finials, and scroll-bracketted skewputts.
The interiors were not seen in 1991. Decorative cast-iron railings are present at the basement and steps leading up to the entrances.
