Harley House

Harley House is a house built between 1912 and 1913 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. It is constructed of grey brick with red dressings and chaînage. The building features a coved plaster cornice beneath an old tile hipped roof, with two ridge stacks positioned off-centre to the left and right, an end stack to the right, and another stack to the left at the rear. There is a central hipped dormer with a two-light casement, along with two additional hipped dormers on the south-west side. The house has two storeys and an attic, comprising seven bays with glazing bar sashes that have exposed wooden boxes and segmental heads, with the ground floor windows being taller. The central entrance features a six-panelled door, where the bottom two panels are flush and the rest are fielded, along with panelled reveals and a rectangular overlight with diamond glazing bars. The doorcase is supported by three-quarter Tuscan columns, which hold up an entablature with a triple keystone and a segmental pediment that breaks forward over the columns.
