50, Carpenter Road B15

No. 50, Carpenter Road is an 1870s substantial and important Gothic home designed by Chamberlain. It is characterised by its tall proportions and asymmetrical elevations of red brick, featuring polychrome brick banding, stone dressings, and decorative tilework. The house is two storeys high with attics, and has two gabled fronts. Gable ends feature ornate ridge tiles and saddlestones. Slender shafts define the brick chimney stacks. Windows are paired, consisting of two pointed lights divided by colonettes. A stone porch features a pointed arcade with tracery, and continues as a blind feature against the wall to the left, incorporating a quatrefoil panel below a first-floor window. The stone eaves have ornate modelling, with a decorative panel of polychrome tiles, and similar tilework is found in the tympana of the windows, a detail repeated on the garden elevation. To the left, on the west side, a short screen wall connects to the coach house, which has a slate roof with a saddlestone to the gable and banded red brick walls.
