2. Circa 1870, the main house of a scheme designed by T Collcutt and built by Jennings, an enthusiast for the newly-fashionable terra-cotta as a building material. Two storeys, attic and basement, irregular fenestration. Three bays to Ferndale Road. One-bay left return to Bedford Road gives impression of startling height. Red brick with exuberant terra-cotta dressings. High pitched tiled roof with fancy ridge tiles and fishscale tiling to cheeks of wide dormer gables, breaking eaves, one on each face. Pale terra-cotta dressings include random block quoins (!) eaves cornice, strings, and architraves to segment-headed windows and round-arched doorway. Style mixes classical and Jacobean motifs. An elliptical full height oriel bay above entrance had strapwork and balustrading; similar ornament is applied to a 2-storey canted bay on the Bedford Road front and to the gable above it.
