38, Kenilworth Road

No. 38 Kenilworth Road is a villa, now converted into flats, built around 1836 to 1850 with later additions and alterations. The building features pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco front facade and a Welsh slate roof. It has two storeys and three first-floor windows, with alternately rusticated quoins and a plinth. The outer bays rise to full height, and the ground floor displays horizontal rustication.

On the first floor, there is a band topped by a blind balustrade. The windows are 1/1 sashes throughout; those on the ground floor have rusticated keystones, while the first-floor windows are set in tooled surrounds, with the central first-floor window being round-arched. All windows have blind boxes. The central entrance features steps leading to a part-glazed, four-panel door with a basket-arched overlight, plain reveals in a cavetto-moulded surround, and a tooled architrave. The building has a modillion cornice, a hipped roof, and tall end stacks with cornices.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, Kenilworth Road was laid out between 1834 and 1838, and No. 38 is part of a group of villas that includes Nos. 20, 22, 26, 28, 30, 36, and 46.
