16, 18 AND 20, THAMES STREET

These are three houses located on Thames Street in Sunbury-on-Thames, dating to the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The houses are constructed of brick on rendered and colourwashed plinths, with roughcast cladding on the right-hand property. They have moulded wooden eaves cornices and plain tiled roofs. Number 16 has two storeys and an attic over a basement on the left side. It features a main central stack and two casement attic dormers on each side. The first floor has three eight-pane glazing-bar sash windows in open boxes. The ground floor has three windows, with two to the right and one to the left of a door consisting of six fielded panels, set within a panelled surround and topped with an open pediment on braces. Steps, including a "sedan" style section with rails, lead up to the entrance. Fixed casement windows are present in the basement. Number 18, to the right, shows four three-pane glazing-bar sash windows in open boxes on the first floor, and two on the ground floor with an angled bay window to the left, all beneath a dentilled cornice. The central door consists of three panels under an open pediment on braces, within a fluted pilaster-strip surround. A 20th-century brick extension, belonging to 1-3 Thames Court, is present on the right-hand return front and is not considered of special interest.
