21-25, PARK LANE

Numbers 21 to 25, Park Lane comprise three properties, with number 25 having a significantly earlier core. Numbers 21 and 23 appear to date from the early 19th century and are built of colourwashed roughcast, with two-window facades. They feature sash windows with glazing bars. The doorways have reeded architraves, decorated with angle roundels, topped by small flat hoods. The doors themselves are flush-panelled and reeded. Number 23 retains an old insurance sign. Number 25, located at the rear, has a core dating from the 16th to 17th centuries. It is characterised by weatherboarding, with the ground floor walls partly rebuilt in yellow brick, and a tile roof. The roof is a combination of gablet and hipped sections over a one-storey lean-to at the back. Internally, number 25 contains a steep chamfered beam, a beam with a bowtel moulding, and a section of original bressumer, which has been reset within a reconstructed fireplace.

The properties form a group with numbers 45 to 57, odd, on The Broadway, and with numbers 1 to 9, odd, on Malden Road. They are also associated with the garden wall to the north of numbers 1 and 3 Malden Road, the Rectory garden walls, and the laundry in the grounds of the Rectory.
