28, Kenilworth Road

This villa, now converted into flats, was likely built between 1836 and 1850, with subsequent additions and alterations. It is constructed primarily of pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco front facade, covered by a Welsh slate roof.

The building is two storeys high with three windows on the first floor. It features alternately rusticated quoins and a plinth. A moulded band runs along the first floor. The central window is a single sash with margin lights, while the other windows are tripartite: a single sash with margin lights flanked by smaller single sashes, each having upper and lower lights, all set within plain reveals. The ground floor has four roll-edged steps leading to a central glazed double door with a basket-arched overlight, contained within a cavetto-moulded surround and a tooled architrave. The ground floor windows are similar to those above, but set in double-chamfered, cambered-arched reveals, the outer portions also cavetto-moulded, and contained within tooled architraves. A modillion cornice tops the facade. The roof is hipped, with tall end stacks and cornices.

The interior has not been inspected.

Kenilworth Road was constructed between 1834 and 1838, and numbers 20, 22, 26, 28, 30, 36, 38, and 46 form an architectural group of villas.
