GREAT AMWELL HAILEY LANE
TL 31NW (north side)

5/8 Nos 21 and 23

GV II

Terrace of 4 houses. 1806-9 by William Wilkins (as a personal
speculation while building Haileybury East India College)
recently converted to 2 houses. Ware white brick and hipped
slate roof. Originally 4 2-storeys, 2 windows houses facing S.
The original standard elevation of each house had two small
segmental arched upper windows, a very wide segmental arched
ground floor window, and a similar arched entrance door on the
right of the window. 3-light casement windows to the ground
floor, small paned sash window above. 2 large windows have been
narrowed for later C19 sash windows, and two doorways have been
built up to form windows recently. Rear slope of roof continues
over shallow 2 storeys rear part. Grouped chimneys on the mid
wall. An interesting early experiment in terrace housing by
Wilkins. Forms a group with No 13. (Matthews (1959) 159).
