Pair of attached houses. Dated 1893. By Henry Dare Bryan.
Snecked limestone rubble with limestone dressings, brick
second floor, brick ridge and gable stacks and a concrete tile
hipped roof. Double-depth plan. Queen Anne style. Each of 3
storeys; 2-window range.
A symmetrical pair has paired gables projecting from the
centre, side entrances, and stone-framed ground-floor mullion
and transom casements, and first-floor mullion 9/1-pane
sashes. Doorways have pilasters to cornices above mullion
overlights, steeply ramped panels above with date pads and
flanking dolphins, and panelled 2-leaf doors with a raised
central diamond.
Ground-floor bays to the gables with a central cross window,
and a balustraded balcony with a carved frieze below; narrower
first-floor bay has a swept roof to a finial, removed from
No.29, and small second-floor 4/4-pane sashes either side of
the bay roof below an overhanging timber-framed gable top on
corbels. Outer ground-floor 3-light windows beneath a sloping
roof, and paired 9/1-pane first-floor windows; coved eaves.
Stone eaves; the front roof extends sideways to form a
projecting end dormer, which includes the corbelled gable-end
stacks. INTERIOR not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached front garden walls and piers
with ball finials. The early part of a development influenced
by Norman Shaw's Bedford Park, 1881.
