GV II

Pair of attached estate houses. Dated 1870. By John Birch for Edgar Francis Egerton Curtis of Caynham Court (qv). Stone rubble with freestone dressings; some brick at rear. Steeply pitched and gabled tile roof with alternating blue and red crested ridge tiles. Large central red brick stack with blue brick shafts and bands and stone tablet inscribed: C 1870. PLAN: Pair of attached houses with mirror-image plans, each with living room at front, entrance lobby and stairs at side and smaller service room at back. The rear outshuts are probably later C19 additions. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 2-bay front with 2 large gables. Chamfered dressed stone window frames; ground floor larger with 3-light mullioned and transomed casements with glazing bars; first floor with similar but smaller 2-light casements without transoms, that to left replaced by C20 casement. Square ventilation holes over ground-floor windows and slits in gables. Side gables similar but with 3-light first-floor and single-light ground-floor windows. Porches in front angles with shaped bargeboards to gabled canopies and chamfered stone depressed 2-centred arched doorways with plank doors. Smaller central gable at rear with brick outshut below. INTERIOR: No.8 plain with some of the joinery replaced. HISTORY: a similar, but not identical, pair of houses by John Birch was awarded a prize by the Society of Arts, and was illustrated in The Builder (31 December 1864). In one of the books John Birch wrote on estate buildings an almost identical pair to this is illustrated.
