Number 4 And Garden Walls And Gate Piers

Number 4, along with its garden walls and gate piers, is a detached house dating to around 1886. It was designed by Harry B Measures for William Willett and Son, a builder-developer company. The house is constructed of red and grey-blue bricks, with decorative rubbed brickwork and some stucco ornaments. It has timber windows and a tiled roof. The house is three stories high and presents an asymmetrical facade in the Queen Anne style. A projecting entrance porch is set under a straight Queen Anne gable with a pedimented top. To the right is a broader bay window extending through two stories, with a canted ground floor and a rectangular upper section, both under a straight Queen Anne gable finished with two volutes. Tall chimneys, some of which have been reduced in height, are present. The roof is deeply hipped. The interior has not been inspected. The front garden is enclosed by a low brick wall with a plinth, buttresses, and polygonal gate piers topped with terracotta finials. Number 4 and its garden features are part of a cohesive group of houses in Lyndhurst Gardens.
