A pair of almshouse cottages. 1885-6 by Edward Herbert Bourchier (1856-1938), architect of 32 Great George Street, Westminster, for the Isleworth United Charities Trust. Red brick with Bath stone dressings; slate roof. Single storey. Central entrance porch with four-centred arch entrance with drip mould and label stops; foliate decoration to spandrels. Empty shield in square panel in gable above. Tall clustered octagonal brick chimneystacks. Five-light arched windows on either side with leaded diamond pane lights beneath moulded stone cornice; arched side doors with Gothic Revival iron door furniture. Dwarf front wall of brick with stone coping. Inside porch is an arched stone tablet with cusped head, inscribed THESE ALMS HOUSES WERE ERECTED AND ENDOWED BY ELIZABETH BUTLER AS A THANK OFFERING TO GOD OCTOBER 24th 1885. Four panel doors with quatrefoil door knockers and single light arched windows with leaded lights inside porch.
Interiors not inspected: the original plans show these to consist of three rooms, with living room to front, kitchen in centre and bed room to rear. An unusually compact and late example of almshouses, a building type with which Isleworth is well-endowed.
