Description
pair of semi-detached houses, plain, built around 1900.
Pair of two-storey semi-detached houses- much plainer than other houses in the road. Pan-tiled pitched roofs which are made to look like hipped roofs at front elevation by projecting beyond chimney-stacks on each side elevation. Continuous pan-tiled roofs over bay windows and doors. Ashbrooke and Newlands have white painted carved wooden posts/brackets and trellis in porch. Red brick with pebbledash upper floors painted in various colours. Rooflight at Southlea. Uncharacteristic flat-roofed extension at Ashbrooke. Apart from the southern end of Gaiety Row these are the only pan-tiled roofs in the area -might there be a connection? A 1902 sales catalogue plan shows 2 pairs of semi-detached houses in the same position named (from east to west - Meadowside, Homefield, South view and Florence Villa. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Taplow Riverside. (B1).
