36, 38 AND 40, WALDEN ROAD

Three houses were built as a single block in the 18th century, with some alterations in the early 20th century. The houses are timber-framed with plaster cladding over a red brick plinth. They have red brick stacks and a thatched roof. The plan is rectangular.

The front elevation (facing South, at numbers 38 and 40) has two boarded doors and a four-window range, with one additional window on the ground floor. Four windows are original 18th-century iron casements with rectangular leaded panes, while the others are early 20th-century two-light casements. The roof is hipped, with a large, central 18th-century brick stack rising through the front roof slope.

The rear (North) elevation includes an integral lean-to under a continuation of the thatched roof. A second large 18th-century brick stack is located through the rear roof pitch, aligned with the front stack. The lean-to has one original 18th-century iron casement window with leaded panes at the East end, and two similar 20th-century two-light casements with moulded architraves, plus one small casement window. An "eyebrow" dormer window at the West end contains a two-light casement window.

The West end elevation shows a hipped gable end with the rear lean-to adjoining it. A boarded door leads into number 36, alongside an original 18th-century two-light iron casement window with leaded panes. A first-floor early 20th-century two-light casement window is also present.

The East end elevation features a boarded door and an early 20th-century two-light casement window on the first floor.

The interior, though not formally inspected, appears to retain slender studding and ceiling joists characteristic of the 18th century.
