GV II

Semi-detached pair of houses. Mid C19. Painted stucco with a continuous slate roof and rendered stacks (with original octagonal pots to left) to gable ends and party wall. STYLE: Picturesque Tudor. PLAN: double-depth, with rear additions. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attics; symmetrical 4-window range to the pair, with projecting gabled centre bays making 1:2:1 fenestration. Plain C20 bargeboards; plinth; single-light windows to the attics; cross-windows to the first floor; French windows and canted bays to the ground floor. Four forward-facing gables; those to the centre are stepped well forward with single-storey hipped-roofed canted bays with full-height plate-glass windows of slightly different dimensions, that to No.16 has a cast-iron pendant frieze. The smaller outer gables are over slightly projecting oriels which are corbelled out to the first floor. No.16 has French windows below, No.17 has a later C19 glazed conservatory with trefoil-headed panes filling the angle. The doors are in the angles against the stepped-forward ranges. INTERIOR: not inspected. Part of the Courtenay Park development, laid out in 1854. More modest use of stucco enrichment than others in Courtenay Park but boldly articulated with the gabled outer oriels.
