Building record 1534800000 - 21 Little Horwood Road

C19 tan brick with red brick detailing around windows and doors. Slate roof with gable end, ridge line chimneys. The building appears to have had sash windows originally, but these have regrettably been replaced with top hung uPVC windows. The central door has also been replaced in a uPVC design which does not reflect the age and style of the house.
The short boundary wall to the front of the property has been painted, but is an important boundary feature. The timber and corrugated metal clad barn/garage to the west of the main house is visually prominent. The building is difficult to date – it might be a wartime or postwar addition to the plot, or it may conceal older fabric within. The building form is interesting in the context of the street scene, although the visual appearance of the building could be improved. Further investigation regarding the age and internal structure of this building would be necessary prior to the consideration of any application to demolish and replace this structure.
The building occupies a visually prominent location on Little Horwood Road. A local note building within the Conservation Area of Great Horwood (B1).
