Red Tiles

Red Tiles is a cottage pair, now combined into a single house, built in the 1870s as part of the St. Albans Court estate for William Oxenden Hammond, designed by George Devey. The house is constructed with dressed stone and red brick, incorporating blue brick diapers, roughcast rendering, and an exposed timber framed upper storey, all topped with a plain tiled roof. It is a single-storey and attic building with a continuous jetty supported by moulded bressumers on corbelled brackets. The design includes projecting double jettied gables to the right and left return, and a two-storey canted bay window to the centre left. Chimneys are located at the front left and project at the end of the right side. A hipped dormer window is situated centrally. Oriel windows are placed on both floors within the gable, while mullioned windows are found in the bay. A four-centred arched rib and stud door is set within a central raking porch.
