Description

St Julian's House is an end-terrace house dating from the 19th century. It features painted stucco that was originally lined as ashlar and has a parapet. The roof is slate, with a coped left end gable that includes a small stuccoed stack. The house stands three storeys tall with an attic and has a three-window range. There is a long 20th-century dormer behind the parapet. Each floor has sash windows, with 12-pane horned windows on the second floor, larger 16-pane windows on the first floor, and two 12-pane windows on the ground floor flanking a central doorway, which is slightly smaller than the windows above.

The doorway is framed by a stucco vermiculated rusticated arched surround, with fielded panelled reveals and a fanlight featuring metal tracery. The original fielded panelled door noted in a 1977 listing has been replaced by a glazed door. The plinth has blocked cellar lights.

On the left end wall facing St Julian's Street, there is a round-arched doorway with a plain fanlight to the left, which has a neo-Georgian timber doorcase with an open pediment and columns added since 1977. To the right of this doorway is a 12-pane sash window that was inserted since 1977, and a very large oriel window on the first floor right, which features a cornice, an ogee-curved base, and 1-2-1 lights with transoms and rounded heads, renewed in the late 20th century.

The front rooms and entrance hall have been combined, resulting in the loss of fireplaces, although plaster cornices remain. The former hall passage features a cornice with mutules decorated with anthemion and high-relief rosettes in between. The room to the left has a classical leaf cornice and a more naturalistic vine ceiling border, likely added later. The right room has an acanthus-type cornice and a vine ceiling border. There is an elliptical-arched recess in the rear wall, presumably for a sideboard.

The former centre passage has an elliptical arch leading to a rear stair hall at right angles behind the right room, as well as a passage to a side door at right angles behind the left room. The staircase features stick balusters, turned newels, and scrolled tread ends, all dating from the early 19th century, with a mid to late 19th-century fat turned newel at the foot.
