44 And 46, Guildford Road

Nos 44 and 46 Guildford Road are a pair of houses built between 1843 and 1850 as part of a planned estate by John Snell. They are designed in the Italianate style and constructed of stock brick with a hipped slate roof and central brick chimneystacks. The buildings are two storeys high with a basement and feature four windows. They have a cornice and four giant pilasters. The first-floor windows have marginal glazing, moulded architraves, and brackets below the cills, while the ground-floor windows are adorned with a cornice, brackets, and cast iron flower guards with an anthemion motif below the cills. There are Ionic porticoes on the sides with stone steps leading to the street, which are enclosed by an iron balustrade. The basement is rusticated and has a cambered-headed window. The two houses are identical in design.
