3 And 4, Pakenham Road B15

These are a pair of semi-detached villas dating to approximately 1850-1855, built in an Italianate style. The houses are constructed of red brick with stucco dressings. Each villa has a two-bay front, with the entrance placed in the outer bay. The design includes a plinth, a sill band on the first floor, and a dividing panel that extends to an acanthus-decorated Vitruvian scroll frieze. This is set beneath a dentil-detailed cornice with bracket eaves. The roofs are slate, with corniced chimney stacks, and each house features a round-headed dormer window. The first floor windows are sash windows; the outer window is single and the inner window is paired, all set within pilaster frames with shell moulding above archivolt arches. These arches have console keystones and projecting cornices with a pediment blocking course. The ground floor features rectangular tripartite bay windows with panelled risers and an entablature. A projecting pilastered porch has a triglyph entablature, and a round-arched entrance with a panelled door and a marginal glazed fanlight. There are three-storey rear wings to both properties.
