47-48, KENAVON DRIVE

Nos 47-48 on Kenavon Drive are a pair of houses built in 1873. They are constructed of red brick with blue brick patterning and have a clay tile roof, along with red brick chimneys. The houses feature a rear extension and are two storeys tall. The front elevation faces the River Kennet and includes a central pair of recessed porches accessed through pointed archways. Above the porches is a recessed panel that displays the date in blue brick, flanked by a brick corbel-table. Below the gables, which have ridges lower than the main roof, are single-storey bay windows beneath three-light windows with segmental heads. There are pairs of chimney stacks on the flank walls, and the windows are mainly 20th-century metal casements. These houses are noted for their stylistic and functional connection to the nearby sewage pumping station buildings.
