NUMBER 73 AND ATTACHED FRONT GARDEN WALL AND GATE PIERS

This detached house was built around 1890 by Harry Measures, constructed by William Willett & Son. It is built of red brick with tile cladding on the gables, featuring relief plasterwork. The roof is tiled, with gabled sections and tall brick chimney stacks, including dormers. The design is asymmetrical.

The exterior is two storeys with attics and a basement. The window arrangement is irregular, with most windows featuring patterned glazing of small panes, and the upper floors having glazing bars to the top lights. A central gabled porch has a round-arched opening and a coped gable, above which is a two-light window. The right-hand side has a five-light bowed bay with transom and mullion windows, each with two small top lights, supporting an undulating parapet to the first-floor window. The attic gable incorporates rows of fishscale tiles, a three-light window, and bargeboards projecting from shaped timber brackets. The left-hand projecting bay has three-light windows to the ground and first floors, and an attic gable with bargeboards and a three-light window framed by swags in relief moulded plasterwork.

The interior of the house has not been inspected.

Attached to the front is a stone-coped red brick boundary wall with gate piers. The piers feature an enriched terracotta frieze and cross-gabled caps.
