Description
Number 4 is a detached house built around 1688 by William Blake, with some later alterations. It is constructed of red brick, heavily repointed and featuring a plain brick band at first-floor level. The roof is tiled, with dormers, and has a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The house has two storeys, an attic, and a semi-basement, with a symmetrical facade of four windows. The front door is within a wooden doorcase with shaped brackets supporting a hood, and has an overlight and panelled door. The windows have segmental arches and flush framed sashes within exposed boxing.
The interior was not inspected, but is noted to retain good original panelling and a staircase.
Attached to the front of the property are cast-iron railings to the areas, along with a low brick wall enclosing a forecourt. The wrought-iron railings are likely Edwardian replicas of an early to mid 18th century style. A gateway has a lamp overthrow incorporating a Windsor-style lantern.
This is the least altered of the six houses built by Blake in The Grove.
