25-48, EALING VILLAGE

This is a block of flats built in 1934 by R Toms and Partners for the Bell Property Company. It is one of five similar blocks. The exterior is mainly painted white brick, with red detailing and a green tile roof. It has three storeys and an attic, with 17 bays. The main entrance doors each have a single pane of glass set in a wooden frame with decorative glazing bars. The windows are small-pane metal Crittal windows with tile sills, and include French windows. The attic has flat-roofed dormers, with the larger ones having canted sides and decorative metal panels where they are paired. There are three entrance and stair towers, evenly spaced, featuring curved gables and decorative brick panels connecting the door surrounds to the windows above. The attic windows on the towers are narrower and round-arched. Full-height canted bay windows are positioned at the ends of the block and between the towers, and these bays are connected to the towers by balconies with decorative openwork panels of semi-circular tiles. The roof has steeply pitched hipped sides and a flat top. The rear elevation retains its original window layout; metal fire escapes with part-glazed doors are also present. The interior has not been fully inspected, but some flats retain original features.
