House. Early C19. Painted roughcast, hipped slate roof with
10 diagonally-set flues to axial brick stack. Square plan.
Picturesque style.
EXTERIOR: single-storey with attics; 3-window range. Reeded
cast-iron columns support a wide overhang of the roof, forming
a verandah to the east and south garden fronts and part of the
west side. The 2 garden fronts each have 3 gabled dormers over
2-light margin-paned casement windows and segmental-arched
fanlights with radial glazing bars, those to the centres have
similar windows in larger dormers, the west side has one
dormer. The 6-panel door is in the west side where a 2-storey
gabled projection to eaves has a 6/6-pane sash window to the
entrance hall.
INTERIOR: a semi-elliptical arch leads to an open-well,
open-string staircase with stick balusters, turned newels and
a wreathed swan's neck rail and curtail step. Rooms to the
ground floor have dado rails, reeded cornices and marble
fireplaces, one red and one black. Fireplaces to the attics
are painted stone.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the house was formerly thatched and was
probably built by Commander Laurence Gwynne (1772-1845),
Sheriff of London and Middlesex and a mathematician, who lived
here.
An interesting example of an early C19 cottage ornee, the plan
formed around its central stack and enveloped by a verandah.
