Description

Two storey red brick building situated a short distance back from the carriageway within a spacious
plot. Building sits beneath a gabled roof laid in slate, the ridgeline of which runs parallel with the
carriageway. Asymmetrical principal elevation with enclosed lean-to porch to left hand (facing) side
and two storey canted bay to right (facing). Apex of canted bay articulated with applied timbers
between panels of pebbledash. Band of decorative hung tiles between ground and first floor
windows of canted bay. Windows mixtures of timber casements and timber mullion and transom.
Blue/black bricks used for quoins provide colour contrast with red bricks of walls.
Simple, but attractive building which in its decorative detail picks up a number of characteristic
elements of other Rothschild buildings within the village and which cumulatively form a key element
in establishing the special character of Waddesdon. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
