Description

63-65 Shandwick Place is an early 19th century, three-storey, three-bay house that features a symmetrical design with later additions. Notable alterations include a glazed outshot added in 1913 at the first floor and a modern shopfront at the ground floor. The ground floor is adorned with carved wooden pilasters that have scrolled capitals, while the first floor showcases Ionic pilasters, a cornice, and a blocking course topped with urns. The second floor has its own cornice.

On the northwest elevation, the ground floor has a modern glazed shopfront with a glazed door positioned to the left. The first floor features a flat-roofed glazed section, and the second floor has a bipartite window in the center, which is topped by a semicircular moulded pediment. There are single windows in the flanking bays, and a triangular pedimented dormer that interrupts the eaves, which contains a cill course for a tripartite window.

The southwest and northeast elevations are obscured by adjacent buildings, while the southeast elevation was not visible as of 2000. The building has modern plate glass glazing at the ground and first floors, with timber sash and case windows on the second floor, and modern skylights on the roof. The roof is covered with grey slate, and it features cast-iron rainwater goods and a coped mutual wall on the second floor to the left.
