Building record 1455900000 - 10 Dargle - Bulstrode Way

Three bay detached house in “stockbroker Tudor” style apparently very little altered. Plans by Simmons & Coward, architects of London, were approved in 1931. A Mr Coward is shown living in Dargle in the 1929 street directory and it seems likely that he had this house built in 1931 and transferred the name from the house which is now number 11, The Bolt. Ground floor in red brick – some herringbone patterns – with upper storey rendered and painted white with applied black half-timbering. The front door is set back behind a porch with timber posts with the upper-storey oversailing the porch. The gable over the entrance with the hipped wing to the west forms a carefully designed picturesque composition. Interesting plaster medallions on the front. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Gerrards Cross Centenary. (B1).
