Description
Colourwashed pebbledashed bungalow with gables and hipped slate roofs with clay ridge tiles. Two tall chimney stacks and recessed oval dormer in roof. Pevsner says the bungalow was enlarged in 1983-4 by CZWG, a leading London practice. The most striking features are the glass canopies and metalwork which Pevsner describes as "a la Guimard". (Hector Guimard (1867 1942) was prominent in the French art nouveau movement. The entrance to the Porte Dauphin station on the Paris Metro has glass canopies similar to that at the Bourne).Designed in 1920 by Charles A Clark. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Gerrards Cross Centenary. (B1).
