26, Kenilworth Road

No. 26 Kenilworth Road is a villa, now converted into flats, built around 1836 to 1850 with later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco front facade, stucco stacks, and a Welsh slate roof. It has two storeys and features three first-floor windows. The corners of the building are alternately rusticated with quoins, and there is a plinth at the base.

On the first floor, there is a moulded band, and the windows are 1/1 sashes with margin-lights set in plain reveals and sills, with blind boxes and Venetian blinds. The ground floor has three steps leading to a central entrance, which features a four-panel, part-glazed door with a basket-arched overlight, all framed in a hollow-chamfered surround with a moulded architrave. The tripartite windows on the ground floor consist of 1/1 sashes with margin-lights flanked by narrow 1/1 sashes, each with upper and lower lights, all set within a double-chamfered, cambered-arched surround, with the outer part being hollow-moulded and in a tooled architrave. The building is topped with a modillion cornice and has a hipped roof with tall end and roof stacks, also featuring modillion cornices.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, Kenilworth Road was laid out between 1834 and 1838, and Nos. 20, 22, 26, 28, 30, 36, 38, and 46 together form an architectural group of villas.
