Description
11, 12, 13 Warrender Park Terrace is a five-storey and basement tenement building, likely designed by Edward Calvert around 1880. It features a mansard attic and has five bays, showcasing baronial architectural details as part of a terrace. The exterior is constructed of squared and snecked pink sandstone, accented with polished ashlar dressings.
Notable features include a string course at the first floor and a corbel table at the fourth floor, which steps down to the third floor and includes machicolation between the third and fourth bays. There are crow-stepped gables and stop-chamfered reveals. The north entrance elevation has basket-arched roll-moulded doorways in the second and fourth bays, which are flanked by recessed polished granite colonnettes with foliate capitals. The deep-set panelled doors have plate glass fanlights above them.
Above the entrance, there are single windows in the second bay and a curvilinear dormer head at the fourth floor. The fourth bay features a simpler roll-moulded doorway with a panelled door and plate glass fanlight, with bipartite windows above and a pedimented dormer head at the fourth floor. The third bay has bipartite windows in the centre, a hoodmoulding at the ground level, and a pedimented dormer head at the fourth floor.
The outer left and right bays are advanced and include bipartite windows, with single lights on the returns. 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 has tripartite windows and decorative paterae set in the gable heads. A ciphered panel is located at the fourth floor between the third and fourth bays. The windows are plate glass sash and case.
The roof is covered with grey slate and features a coped wallhead stack that is partly rendered, along with coped mutual stacks, stone finials, scroll-bracketted skewputts, and mock canon gargoyles. The interiors were not seen in 1991. Decorative cast-iron railings are present at the basement level.
