Description


TQ 2782 NE CITY OF WESTMINSTER INNER CIRCLE,
24/6 REGENT'S PARK, NW1
5.2.70 The Holme
G.V. II*
Villa. c1819 by Decimus Burton for his father the builder, and one of his
earliest designs, as part of Nash's Regent's Park Crown Estate development and
one of the least altered of the surviving Park villas. Stucco; slate roof.
Graeco-Roman, Nash inspired design with Corinthian portico east entrance front
and west front towards lake with bow. 2 storeys on basement. 5 windows wide
with extensions to left and right. The tetrastyle Corinthian portico rises
straight from ground and screens architraved consoled doorway with flanking
windows and first floor sashes. The outer bays have architraved sashes, with
cornices on consoles to ground floor. Modillion cornice with balustraded
parapet and pediment over portico. The west front has central, tripartite,
pillared bow window. Cast iron geometric pattern guard rail to area on entrance
front. With its grounds and lawn sloping down to the lake, The Holme most
faithfully preserves the Reptonesque landscape setting for the villas
intended by Nash.
