121, London Road

121 London Road is a house built around 1820, featuring gault brick with red brick on the rear walls and a slate hipped roof on the front range, with a 20th-century tile roof on a small rear range. It has a right side stack and is designed in a late Classical style, comprising two storeys and a basement. The front facade includes tripartite sash windows with a configuration of 2/2:6/6:2/2 panes on both floors, featuring crown glass in the upper panes. The windows are set within a raised panel and are complemented by rusticated quoins. The side walls are panelled, and there is an original five-panel door on the left side. The small rear range has sash windows on both floors, with a cornice hoodmould above the windows, arranged as 3/6 over 6/6. The rear features mostly sash windows, either 3/3 or 2/2, along with a door leading to the semi-basement.

Inside, the largely unaltered interior boasts a small open-well staircase with a mahogany curving and wreathed handrail, along with stick balusters and a fluted bottom newel. Many doorways are adorned with reeded architraves and corner roundels. The front reception room includes window shutters and side arches at the chimney breast, with another set opposite. The interior also features cornices and architraves, while the original fireplaces in two upper rooms have cast-iron grates. A later 19th-century range is found in the rear main basement room, which also has extensive semi-basements and cellars with stone floors.

Historically, this area known as 'Mile End' was developed in the early 19th century as a small, isolated group of 16 houses along the main London road. The house first appears on a map from 1847. It is a well-preserved example of a small Regency villa, retaining its original windows and many finely detailed interior features.
