Rox Borough House, 101 Oxford Road

Rox Borough House is a detached house built around 1859, which has since been converted to offices. The building features dark red brick with stone and stucco dressings, an iron or steel veranda at the rear, and iron railings around the basement windows. It has a slate roof with timber eaves blocks and soffit, and consists of two storeys plus a basement.

The main façade faces north and is symmetrical, with a centrally located doorway on the raised ground floor flanked by two six-over-six sash windows within moulded architraves. Above, there are three six-over-six sash windows on the first floor under gauged-brickwork flat arches. Two basement windows, partially visible from the street, are enclosed by iron railings adorned with honeysuckle ornament. A flight of four stone steps leads to the main entrance, which features a four-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight above, set within a moulded door surround with a bracketed hood. A stucco plat band runs across the elevation at first-floor cill level, and there are stone kneelers on either gable end wall, along with timber battens along the soffit of the pitched roof. The two chimney stacks are positioned on the gable end walls.

The brickwork on the east, south, and west elevations is in Flemish garden wall bond. The east elevation facing Howard Street is mostly blank, except for a single round-headed sash window located centrally at second-floor level. The southern elevation features two six-over-six sash windows on the ground floor and two six-over-six and one two-over-two sash windows on the first floor. A plain iron or steel veranda extends across the rear elevation.

In addition, there are 19th-century brick walls in Flemish garden wall bond along the east and west boundaries of the front garden. A taller brick wall, recently rebuilt but likely reusing historic bricks, runs along the eastern boundary of the rear garden.
