191, London Road

No. 191 London Road is a house that was later converted into a school and is now a restaurant. It was built around 1826 for Charles Cooke Higgs. The building features stucco over brick with a concealed hipped slate roof. It has two storeys and a main range with four windows, along with a service wing to the left that has three windows and is one storey lower.

The exterior of the main range is notable for its full-height Ionic pilasters at both ends and on either side of the entrance bay. It includes a frieze, architrave, dentil cornice, and a blocking course. The entrance, located off-centre to the right, features a Roman Doric distyle porch with a frieze, architrave, and pediment, along with double part-glazed and panelled doors set in a tooled surround. The windows throughout the building are 6/6 sashes in plain reveals with tooled architraves and sills, with the ground floor windows having cornices on consoles. The service wing also has 6/6 sashes in plain reveals and sills, along with a frieze, cornice, and blocking course. The right return of the service wing has similar architraves to the main range, a blind window, and glazed doors on the ground floor, with 6/6 sashes on the first floor.

Inside, the entrance hall features an inner entrance with pilasters that have anthemion capitals, as well as an embellished cornice and frieze with corbels and fleurons. There is a wide open-well staircase with ornate iron balusters. The ground floor rooms have embellished cornices, while the first floor has more simply moulded cornices. Most windows are fitted with shutters. The building contains three Regency marble fireplaces, one on the ground floor and two on the first floor.

Historically, Charles Cooke Higgs was a patron of the Church of the Holy Apostles.
