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.
