Numbers 41 and 43 and Attached Garden Walls and Piers with Ball Finials

A pair of attached houses, Numbers 41 and 43, were built around 1896, designed by Henry Dare Bryan. They are constructed of snecked limestone rubble with dressings, and feature tilehanging, brick stacks, and a tile roof with hipped and gabled sections. The buildings are arranged with a double-depth plan and are in a Queen Anne style. They are three storeys high and have a two-window frontage. The design is symmetrical, with entrances situated on the sides, and projecting outer gables linked by stone-framed windows on the ground floor. The carved doorcases are flanked by terms supporting a mullion overlight and a swan's neck pediment, leading to a battened, two-leaf door with an elliptical arch. Number 41 has a porte cochere with a hipped roof and Doric columns, situated between the two houses. The gables have bows with five-light windows and parapets. First-floor windows are three-light with small pediments over a string course, while second-floor windows have four lights with a central king mullion. Finials decorate the gables, with a steep, segmental-pedimented gable featuring a keyed oculus. Between the gables are three-light ground-floor windows, and a balcony above with ball finials. Upper storeys are set back with three-light windows beneath coved eaves and large four-light dormers. Plate-glass casements with glazing bars are found on the lower floors, with transoms above. The rear elevation includes semicircular-arched stair lights and a single-storey service block.

The interior features a hall screen with a stained-glass door and side lights, a central hall with an elliptical arch to a dogleg staircase featuring turned balusters and large newels. Five-panel doors, rear kitchens with built-in dressers, cornices, and fireplaces are also present. The property is complemented by attached front garden walls and piers, topped with ball finials. The design shows strong influence from Norman Shaw’s Bedford Park, built in 1881.
