Description
Nos 39 and 40 Calthorpe Road are a pair of semi-detached villas built around 1830 as part of the Calthorpe Estate. They are two storeys high and each has three bays, along with coach houses. The villas feature a common hipped slate roof with flat eaves and corniced stucco chimneys. The front of the buildings is highlighted by a giant order of Soanian incised panel pilasters, which are coupled at the party wall in the center. The first floor has plain revealed glazing bar sash windows. Each house has one ground floor window that was replaced around 1850 with a pilastered rectangular bay window that has a bracketed cornice; these are not identical. No 30 also features a tripartite glazing bar sash window to the right. Each villa has a narrow entrance bay in the center, topped with a pediment on acanthus leaf consoles above recessed doorways. No 39 includes a slightly recessed link wall with a side entrance leading to a coach house that has been modernized. No 40 has a single bay two-storey wing that is almost in the same plane, featuring segmental arched coach house doors on the ground floor, a side entrance, and a window on the first floor.
