Description

Double cottages probably built in the early 1920s and remarkably unaltered. Symmetrical composition with twin front gables seeming to frame the central chimney stack on ridge. Casement multi-paned windows painted black and white in Edwardian style. Pebbledashed walls painted white contrast with plain clay tiled roof. Flat-roofed porch with room to side under single-storey gable. Note in particular the high curving red brick boundary walls of the former Marsham Lodge and the timber outbuilding close to the road, perhaps a relic of the former Marsham Lodge, which makes a significant contribution to the street-scene reinforcing the rural and historic character of the Common. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Gerrards Cross Centenary. (B1).
