Nos.3 AND 4
II
Pair of semi-detached houses forming part of a small estate.
1884. By EJ May. For HB Timewell. Red brick with stucco
dressings and 1st floor band. No.3 has a tiled roof and
tile-hung gable and second floor; No.4 has a tiled roof with
slate-hung gable and second floor. Tall brick chimney-stacks
and white bargeboards, No.4 with dormer.
Irregular fenestration, the second floor and attics with sash
windows, the lower floors have principal windows with mullion
and transom glazing whose upper panes have small lights. No.3
with round-arched, brick and stucco banded porch entrance with
enriched keystone and recessed part-glazed door with
sidelights. First floor projecting transom and mullion bay
window, to right, on large bracket supports. To left, a
2-storey canted oriel, partly tile-hung. No.4 has similar

INTERIORS: not inspected.
HISTORICAL NOTE: drawings for the houses were exhibited at the
Royal Academy in 1884. EJ May worked extensively on the
Bedford Park Estate, the first major development in the Queen
Anne style in London; this has some Queen Anne details but is
more monumental in scale. Mr Timewell, a London tailor, lived
in No.4 and let No.3.
