Hospital villa accommodation. 1901 by Clifford Smith for London County Council;
altered red brick; plain tile roof. Half-butterfly plan, the 2 wings forming a
"V". One storey with partial attic; 7-bay wings meeting at gabled entrance bay.
In Arts and Crafts Style. Windows are small-pane sashes, some sashes with
replacement single-pane glazing, and have flat brick arches with keystones; doors
have vertical glazed panels. Entrance bay has wide keyed, segmental archway leading
to recessed double-door, with upper part small-paned, small-pane overlight, and
narrow side windows; gable has applied timber studs on brattished bressumer with
pebble-dashed panels and 3-light small-pane casement window, barge boards, tile-hung
and louvred ridge cupola with ogee cap and finial. Wings: bay nearest centre
projects, and 3rd bay also, as a canted bay window; glass-roofed verandah between
the 2 projections of the left-hand wing (and probably also formerly of the right-
hand wing) covering doorway; late C20 small added blocks at end of each wing not
of special interest; moulded wooden gutter at eaves; raised verges with shaped
ashlar kneelers and ashlar coping.
Thorn Villa was one of the 8 original villas at this, the first villa-style insti-
tution for epileptics in England and together with Limewood Villa and Walnut Villa
(q.q.v.) it forms a group around the cricket ground.
