Detached House. 1910. Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. Red brick in Flemish bond. Roof of tile with swept and boxed eaves. Two and a half storeys. L-plan with two-window range to Willifield Green and Asmuns Hill; at join of wings an oriel of one-window, corbeled out from the re-entrant corner. Vernacular Revival. Round-arched entrance facing Green. All windows are segmental arched; 6 X 6 sashes of an original design; casement lights elsewhere also of an orignal design. To right return gable end a gable headed and weatherboarded dormer of two windows with stack to ridge; stack to roof valley on rear. Hipped dormer to right return; hipped single-storey wing. Of special note is the view of the block from Asmuns Hill, where the elements on the return and the rear elevation form a strongly picturesque composition. Although the L-plan is a form derived from vernacular architecture, the architects have used it here to define one end of Willifield Green and create a "gateway" effect to Asmuns Hill. Nos. 113, 123-133 (odd), 126-156 (even) Willifield Way and 38, 40 and 42 Asmuns Hill, even (q.v.) form a group.
