House. 1906. By SD Pennington. Red brick, part rendered and
part with applied half-timbering; red tiled roof.
Arts-and-Crafts style. Rectangular plan.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 3-window range. Asymmetrical facade
composed of a broad gabled bay of brick flanked on the left by
a narrower gabled bay of white painted render which overlaps
and breaks into it, and on the right by a narrower and
slightly set back entrance bay of white painted render with
applied half-timbering at first floor.
In this bay is a recessed porch formed by the upper floor
bridging the ground floor, which is open to the front and
contains a part-glazed door and side window; the upper floor
has a small 2-light casement framed by applied timbering in
the upper right-hand corner.
The broad centre has a 4-light casement at ground floor and a
shallow canted 3-light oriel at first floor, each with a brick
relieving arch over a straight cornice; to the right a pair of
buttresses next to the ground-floor window frame an arched
alcove with a built-in garden seat and a bull's-eye window,
above which a slender triangular shaft carries up to the
centre of 3 tall clustered and corniced chimney shafts which
break through the gable.
The rendered bay to the left has a 4-light casement at ground
floor framed by buttresses and protected by the splayed base
of shallow canted bay at first floor which is crossed by a
5-light casement window and carries up to a projected gablet
on brackets; tall rendered chimney rises from the left side
wall.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
A successful and sophisticated example of Edwardian
Arts-and-Crafts style.
