Description

This is a semi-detached house, dating from circa 1899, and likely incorporating elements of a mid-19th century building. It was significantly altered in 1932 by P.B. Hunter. The exterior is rendered over brick, with the roof hidden behind a parapet. The house is two storeys high with a basement, and has a two-by-one bay arrangement; the right bay is slightly forward and features a one-bay loggia porch. It has sash windows without glazing bars, a solid panel parapet, and a moulded cornice. Window openings have moulded surrounds. The ground floor is rusticated, with arch-headed windows framed by pilasters supporting an entablature. An arch-headed opening on the right side forms a porch, which is lit on its left return by an unglazed arch opening. There is a single window to the right of the arched entrance, a fanlight above the door, and a panelled, half-glazed door with an ornamental grill. Rendered piers with cast-iron railings extend along the road and return to the porch of Courtenay Tower. A long, three-bay return wall abuts the house, with a south front displaying Modernist detailing. A boundary wall, dating from the 18th to 19th centuries, is constructed of coursed pebbles with a brick plinth. The upper courses of the wall have been renewed in brick and are finished with a cement coping. The wall is approximately one metre high and 45 metres long. The building is described as a skilled pastiche of a late Victorian building from the 1930s. It may have been part of the rebuilding of a mid-19th century villa that appeared on an Ordnance Survey map of 1875. The building is included on the list for its group value, alongside Courtenay Towers and Courtenayside.
