Number 37 And Attached Wall And Gate

Number 37 and its attached wall and gate is a detached house and studio built in 1873 by T Batterbury and WF Huxley for the illustrator Frederick Barnard. The building is constructed of brick with a tiled double-pitched roof and has three storeys and a semi-basement. It features two windows on the main facade, which is quite narrow. The left-hand bay has gauged brick arches above two narrow, vertically set, small-paned windows on the ground floor. The first floor has a recessed sash window set within a gauged brick pointed arch. The right-hand bay is gabled and features a bay window rising through the semi-basement and ground floor, with a stuccoed surround and penthouse roof. This bay window has four mullioned sashes on the ground floor. The first floor of the right-hand bay also has four narrow mullioned sashes, with a segmental relieving arch above. The second floor mirrors the first, with mullioned sashes and gauged brick pointed arch recesses above. The eaves feature carved bargeboards with large paired brackets shaped to form a pointed arch above the windows. The interior of the building has not been inspected. Attached to the property is a coped brick wall with gate piers topped by stone pediments. A good wrought-iron gate has a scrolled screen and a foliate design. Frederick Barnard, for whom the house was built, was a 'Punch' artist and illustrator of Dickens.
