GV II

House, now with shop. c1765 with C20 additions.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, slate mansard roof hipped to right with three dormers to front and one to right return and stacks to rear with hand-thrown chimney pots.
PLAN: Three-unit plan.
EXTERIOR: Three storey end of row house, facing onto Walcot Street and onto Chatham Place. Three-window front to Walcot Street with moulded architraves to six/six-pane sash upper floor windows, that to centre of first floor of Walcot Street facade has cornice flanked by pedimented windows. Chatham Row facade has tripartite window to second floor and Venetian window to first floor with radial glazing bars to upper sash. Coped parapet returned over party wall to left and to Chatham Row facade to right, cornice returned to right. Ground floor right hand corner canted with projecting shaped triangular plan stone porch. C20 shop front.
INTERIOR: Not inspected.
HISTORY: This house was conceived as a pair with No.14 Chatham Row (qv) opposite, and both were designed as entrance buildings to Chatham Row behind, forming a deliberate architectural set-piece within an area that had not previously seen the building of many fashionable developments. Pitt the Elder became Earl of Chatham in 1766 which might represent a likely date of construction.
