15, Rutland Road

15 Rutland Road is a house built in 1906 by SD Pennington, showcasing the Arts-and-Crafts style. It features a combination of red brick, part rendered surfaces, and applied half-timbering, topped with a red tiled roof. The building has a rectangular plan and stands two storeys tall with a three-window range.

The exterior presents an asymmetrical facade, highlighted by a broad gabled bay of brick. To the left is a narrower gabled bay of white painted render that overlaps with the brick bay. On the right, there is a slightly set back entrance bay, also of white painted render, which features applied half-timbering on the first floor. This entrance bay includes a recessed porch, where the upper floor extends over the ground floor, creating an open area that contains a part-glazed door and a side window. The upper floor has a small two-light casement window framed by applied timbering in the upper right corner.

The central brick bay has a four-light casement window at ground floor level and a shallow canted three-light oriel window above, both adorned with brick relieving arches over straight cornices. To the right of the central bay, a pair of buttresses frame an arched alcove that contains a built-in garden seat and a bull's-eye window. Above this alcove, a slender triangular shaft rises to support three tall clustered and corniced chimney shafts that break through the gable.

On the left side, the rendered bay features a four-light casement window at ground floor level, framed by buttresses and protected by the splayed base of a shallow canted bay above, which has a five-light casement window and culminates in a projected gablet on brackets. A tall rendered chimney rises from the left side wall.

The interior has not been inspected. Overall, this house is a successful and sophisticated example of Edwardian Arts-and-Crafts style architecture.
