GV II

Pair of semi-detached cottages. Dated 1865. By William Nesfield.
Red English garden wall bond brick with tile hanging to the first
floor walling and a roof of plain tiles. Two storeys. Entrance
front: two mirror image cottages. Recessed centre with lean-to porch
which has two lateral pointed arches behind which are the front doors
and 2 glazed central arches with panes of bulls eye glass. Above
these are two jointed 3-light hipped dormer windows with fishscale
tiling to their apexes. Each has wooden mullions with a brick king
mullion at the centre. To either side are projecting wings with two
2-light casements to each side at ground floor level. The first
floors are jettied and have pargetted cement to the coving. The first
floor windows are oriels and also have pargetted cement to their
coving including the date A D 1865. These oriel windows have hipped
roofs and the gable ends against which they are set are hung with
fishscale tiles. The roof of the body of the house is hipped and the
corners of this roof and the gable ends of the wings are each crowned
with a metal vane bearing a lead penant. There is a massive chimney
stack of four flues to the centre of the ridge with ribbed brickwork
and there are further lateral stacks, flush with the sides of the
houses each having 3 flues. Much of the tile hanging and roofing
appears to have been replaced this century. In contrast to the Golden
Gates Lodge designed in Nesfield's earlier manner these houses are
interesting as one of the first examples of Nesfield and Shaw's Old
English style and they show Nesfield's characteristic bulkiness of
design and fluent combination of many elements of disparate origin.
Also of interest is the fact that these are the first such houses
designed in the style which is probably most widely associated with
the term "semi-detached". Many of the features which were to become
cliches of speculative developments in the early C20 appear here for
the first time.
