Description

Group of 4 houses built in 1908 1908 datestone on this row of four cottages. Built by James Langstone to the designs of William Eves, FRIBA, surveyor to Uxbridge District Council, who also designed semi-detached houses in Bulstrode Way and Marsham Way. Stock brick with red brick dressing, regrettably white-washed on 11 & 12. Slate gable-ended roof with ridge crest and pierced barge boards. Three ridge chimney stacks – one in centre and one at each end. Only number 12 retains its sash windows. All have canted bay windows to ground floor under hipped plain clay tiled roofs. Front doors recessed in round headed porches with keystones. Ornate wrought gates and fences at 9, 10 & 12. Restoration of such a fence at number 11 would help to restore harmony to the row. This is a local building of note within the Consrvation Area of Gerrards Cross. (B1)
