Description

These are a pair of semi-detached villas, built around 1830, located on Carpenter Road in Edgbaston. They are two storeys high, constructed of stucco, and each villa has four bays arranged as a single range under a hipped slate roof with deep flat eaves. The chimneys are of stucco, corniced and topped with square pots. The windows are glazing bar sashes, simply revealed with block sills. The doorways, located in the second bay from each end, are approached via delicate diamond-pattern cast iron trellis porches featuring coupled openwork piers and segmental arches, all covered by ogee lead roofs. Number 5 retains its original four-panel door and a rectangular fanlight. The original screen wall to the side of Number 5 remains, including segmental arched coach house doors concealed behind a parapet coping. Number 4’s screen wall and coach house were rebuilt in the mid-19th century as a two-storey wing, and a modern garage has been incorporated. This wing has its own separate hipped roof.
