Description
Leading London architects designed this home for Harold Raffety the promoter of Oval Way. Their plans for alterations were approved in 1913. Built by Jesse Mead of Chesham. Butterfly shape with hipped roofs, eyebrow dormers and tall chimney stacks. Rendered walls. Pevsner describes it as "in a fussy version of Voysey's most intimate style". Nonetheless this is a building of local note. On a corner site, its setting could be improved by the continuation of the fine yew hedge fronting Oval Way in place of a non-characteristic brick wall fronting Orchehill Avenue. Designed in 1907 by Forbes and Tate. This is a Building of Note within the Conservation Area of Gerrards Cross Centenary. (B1).
