Description
Southlands is an early 18th-century building located on The Green in West Drayton. It features a careful compact design, constructed of brown brick with red dressings and quoins. The building has two storeys and a basement, with five double-hung sash windows set in architraves, topped with rubbed flat arches. It includes a plinth and cambered relieving arches over the basement windows. A notable feature is the fine painted door surround, which is adorned with fluted Roman Doric pilasters and flanked by rustication. The door surround also includes carved consoles and an entablature with a cornice hood, along with a 'gothic' traceried fanlight. Moulded brick bands are present above the floors, and there is a panelled parapet. A fire assurance sign is located below the cornice. The building has early 20th-century rear extensions.
Inside, all the front rooms are panelled in pine, with some featuring early painted graining. The contemporary staircase includes dado panelling, and there are some carved fireplace surrounds. In the ground floor front room, there is a niche with a painted ceiling and painted panels above the doors.
Southlands, along with its forecourt and garden walls, forms a group with the Barn to the south of Avenue Cottage and the wall to the east of the Barn.
