Description
Ketelfield is a detached dwelling built between 1975 and 1978, designed by Peter Aldington of Aldington Craig for Harold and Joan Wedgwood. The house is constructed on a brick and concrete semi-basement with a concrete sub-frame, featuring a bolted steel frame and insulated double Douglas Fir panels with double-glazed units. The plan is broadly rectangular, with open-plan living and kitchen areas, and bedrooms and bathrooms separated by a soundproofed partition.
Ketelfield is a single-storey building with a flat roof. The main entrance is on the sloping north side, accessed via a pedestrian bridge leading to a recessed, timber-clad porch and a plain timber door. The elevations are generally similar in appearance, with the steel frame exposed and interchangeable double-glazed and plywood panels, divided vertically by narrow aluminium mullions. The north and east elevations use plywood panels painted black instead of glass for privacy around the entrance and bedrooms.
Inside, the open-plan living areas feature wooden panelled walls and replaced wooden flooring. A sliding glazed partition separates the living room from a conservatory, while a sliding wooden partition divides the dining area from the kitchen. A small utility area adjoins the kitchen, with steps leading down to the semi-basement and a door to the garden. Contemporary doors, kitchen cupboards, and joinery are present throughout. A simple fireplace with a metal surround and tiled floor is in the living area, and a woodburner has been added to the dining room.
A plywood partition to the east of the dining room and utility room separates the sleeping area. A top-lit corridor provides access to three bedrooms and two bathrooms; one bathroom retains original Adamsez Meridian fittings. The corridor and master bedroom have built-in cupboards.
On the south side, facing the garden, a raised steel terrace is connected to the lawn by two sets of steps.
