22, Kenilworth Road

No. 22 Kenilworth Road is a villa, built around 1836 to 1850, and later altered to become two separate dwellings. The exterior is constructed of pinkish-brown brick, with a painted stucco facade on the front, brick and stucco chimney stacks, a Welsh slate roof, and a cast-iron verandah.

The villa is two storeys high with three windows on the first floor. It features alternating rusticated quoins and a plinth. The first floor has a moulded band and contains 1/1 sash windows with margin lights in plain reveals, sills, blind boxes, and Venetian blinds. The ground floor shows three roll-edged stone steps leading to a central entrance with a four-panel, part-glazed door and a basket-arched overlight, set within a hollow-chamfered surround with a moulded architrave. Flanking this are tripartite windows with a central 1/1 sash with margin lights flanked by narrower 1/1 sashes with upper and lower lights, all set in double-chamfered reveals with cambered arches. A modillion cornice runs along the top. The roof is hipped, with a tall stack to the left side featuring a cornice, and a rear stack. A continuous verandah with a scroll motif to the uprights runs along the ground floor.

The interior was not inspected during the listing process.
