Building record 1459600000 - 18 Ladylaw - Oxford Road

Plans were approved in 1926 for a house designed by architect G.E.Clare, LRIBA, of Harrow. Whether this is the George E. Clare who was resident architect for the Rothley Garden Suburb in Leicestershire or who worked on buildings at the famous 1920s Crittall village, Silver End, in Essex, has not been substantiated. This twin-gabled house has retained its character well with its original windows, an oak front door, and half-timbered porch with herringbone brick infill. White-washed pebble dash with red brick detailing and plain clay tiled roof. Attached garage set back from the house-front has sloping roof. A typical garden-village house set behind shrubs and a lawn, reached by a gravel drive. This is a local building of note within the Conservtation Area of Gerrards Cross. (B1)
