14, Gainsborough Gardens

14 Gainsborough Gardens is a detached house built between 1894 and 1895 by Horace Field. The house is constructed of red brick with a tiled roof and features two storeys and an attic, following an L-shaped plan with a rear extension.

The exterior has an irregular seven-window front, consisting of five bays in the main part and a projecting two-bay section to the right. A tall brick chimney stack is located on the right return. The ground floor of the main elevation has four sash windows, while the first floor has three, all of which are 6/6-pane sashes set within segmental arches and exposed boxing. Above the entrance, there is a pair of oval lights, and a cavetto cornice runs along the eaves level. The main roof has a single triple-light dormer. The projecting bay features a canted bay window on the ground floor with triple mullion and transom windows, two sash windows above on the first floor, and a leaded casement window within the shaped gable at attic level.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this house was the last to be built in Gainsborough Gardens and was originally named 'The Small House.' It was designed by Horace Field for his mother. A drawing of this house, along with the adjoining Nos 11-13 Gainsborough Gardens, was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1894. Field was known for his work in the emerging Neo-Georgian style, and this design reflects a transition away from the more ornate Arts and Crafts style seen in other houses in Gainsborough Gardens. This private enclave, developed on land belonging to the Wells & Campden Charity Estate from 1882 onwards, contains a notable collection of Late Victorian houses and is of significant architectural interest.
