Meadowside And Sunnymead And Attached Garden Wall

Meadowside and Sunnymead are a pair of adjoining houses, likely dating from the 1850s. They were occupied as a single property at the time of a survey in 1990. The houses are stuccoed, with the outer returns slate-hung, and have gabled slate roofs and axial stacks with brick shafts. The plan comprises a T-shaped block with mirror-image houses, each featuring a three-storey, one-room-wide main block and a two-storey rear service wing divided between the two houses. There are rear outer projections, likely originally for lavatories or closets.

The south-facing front is symmetrical, with two windows and a continuous five-bay verandah with a lean-to lead roof supported by reeded posts (with some replacements). The front doors are four-panelled, with glazed upper panels and geometric glazing bar overlights. The doorcases have panelled reveals; the east house’s reveals may have been boarded over the original detail. Each house features a pair of high transomed French windows towards the centre, with glazing bars. Each house also has one sixteen-pane sash window on the first floor and one four/eight-pane sash window on the second floor. The left return has a C20 sash window to both the first and second floors, glazed to match the front.

A brick garden wall runs along the east side of the property, ramping down and included in the listing. The rear elevations feature long, thin stair windows, two panes wide and twelve panes long, with the stair cutting across the window. These retain their original sashes, and there is a gabled rear service wing.

The interiors retain original joinery, plaster ceiling cornices, marble and timber chimney-pieces, and stick baluster staircases with mahogany handrails. The left house’s balusters have been replaced with wrought iron, and the right house's ground floor staircase has been altered. Some partitions have been removed. Numerous late C19 grates with tiled surrounds are also present.
