GV II
Detached house. 1856-61. Developed by Henry Rydon and probably designed by Charles Hambridge. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond with dressings of red brick, stone or stucco; roof of artificial slate. Three storeys over basement, five-window range, double-fronted. Decorative courses of red brick throughout, particularly to ground floor. Steps up to projecting gabled porch; flat-arched entrance flanked by pilasters with foliage capitals supporting blank entablature and foliage cornice, the outer ends of which serve as imposts to the outer of two concentric round arches of alternating red and yellow brick; glazed tympanum; foliage cornice to coping of gable with carved griffins to kneelers. A pair of round-arched windows to either side with foliage imposts and archivolts of stucco or stone and gauged red brick. The first floor has three round-arched windows centrally over the porch deeply recessed behind a prostyle round-arched arcade with foliage capitals and archivolts of stucco or stone and red and yellow gauged brick, the whole arcade slightly recessed under a shallow segmental arch; two outer windows round-arched with heads of gauged brick, alternately red and yellow, and plain brick hoodmoulds, each window having a screen of two round arches in front of the sashes, with scrolled openwork in the spandrels. Second-floor windows have segmental arches with heads of alternating red and yellow brick and a four-centred hoodmould and springing band of brick, with red brick diaper patterns between the windows; machicolated cornice to boxed eaves; hipped roof with side stacks. Two-storey wing with stepped gable to right, perhaps originally of a date with the main building. (London Journal: T.F.M.Hinchcliffe: 'Highbury New Park. A nineteenth-century middle-class suburb': London: 1981-: 29-44).
