Hi Cate, you raise a good point regards Regency architecture. What is maybe relevant is that the entrance in question is not on the original main elevation of the building. This is the East front as described below in the list description
Main east front has central projecting semi-circular bay, 2 storeys, with flat roof and parapet, containing 3 French windows, flanked by single glazing bar sashes. Above, cast iron balcony on decorative brackets and 3 French windows, flanked by single glazing bar sashes with cast iron balconies.
I also note that the porch is separately referred to as a 19thC feature, which could indicate it was added beyond the regency period, the Victorians were certainly less rigid on symmetry. This is purely conjecture on my part mind you, it would be interesting to see some original plans to see if they shed any light.
I was wondering if anyone knew why this regency house was built with the main entrance off to one side, I would have expected it to have been symmetrical.
