GV II

Terrace of eight bungalows built by Tayler and Green for the former Loddon Rural District Council,1951. Single storey, brick, yellow-brown (Nos 25, 33), red (No 27), and whitewashed, Nos 29, 31, 37, 39, all over tarred plinths. Black pantile roofs, scalloped wooden barge boards, yellow-brown brick chimney stacks with pitched concrete copings and clay pots. Wide frontage plans- Each unit has steel windows, one large casement with glazing bars at left, two-light plain casement window at right, and central entrance door. Projecting steel trelliswork with narrowly spaced vertical rods to right of each door identifies the individual unit within the terrace. The slight curve of the terrace, the first to be introduced by these architects into their Loddon RDC schemes, is a significant townscape element, complemented by the ornamental gable ends of the later Scudamore Place (qv) to the east of Hollow Hill Road. The planning of these houses is of interest but there are no internal features of special merit.
