GV II

Pair of houses, the design conceived as a double-ended hall house. 1910. Designed by the Letchworth office of Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. Deep red brick in Flemish bond. Hipped roofs of tile. Two storeys with four-window range to hall and -one window to each crosswing. The plan and feeling for the richness of materials derive from the Vernacular Revival style and therefore comparable to Nos. 4 and 6 (q.v.) to the south, but, at the same time, this pair has a breadth and horizontal emphasis which is more contemporary in feeling. Entrances in outer corners of hall range, segmental arched with doors of original design; all other openings are flat arched, filled with one-, two- or four-light windows with brick mullions and leaded-light casements of an original design. Brick dentil -cornice to eaves and entablature band. Outer corners treated -as quoin strips in brick. Lintel band to all ground-floor openings; sill band to first-floor windows. Moulded ridge stack on party wall and ridge stack to each crosswing; moulded stack to rear slope of each unit. Forms and interesting pair
with Nos. 5 and 7 and part of a group consisting of Nos. 1 and I3, 5 and 7 odd (q.v.) , 2, and 4 and 6 even (q.v.) Rotherwick Road. These houses, along with Nos. 5 and 7, are the first examples of a type which is repeated throughout the Suburb.
