Statement of Significance

12 Grange Road, Kew is of local historical and architectural significance. A fine and externally relatively intact attic house of the early 1920s, it is an interesting example of the transition from Federation to a more international Arts and Crafts mode. The design is boldly and simply composed, and contains sculpturally rich Federation touches around the windows, combined with the linearity and stylization of the Arts and Crafts free styles.

      12 Grange Road - Physical Description 1

      12 Grange Road is a two storey (attic style) brick house. The roof is clad in terracotta tiles in a Marseilles pattern and punctuated by several chimneys. Two of these are tall, rising from the ground floor to above the central roof line. These have square stacks stepped out nearer the roof line to form pedestals. The central chimney fronts the south-facing wing and rises through the wing gable at its apex, bisecting the two bedroom windows on the first floor and widening to a chimney breast next to the main ground floor window. The windows themselves are sashes in box-like frames, corbelled out from the south wall on brick steps. The main south window has a shallow canopy clad in Marseilles tiles. The walls are rendered brick, overpainted white, with an unpainted brick plinth. The front steps are bracketed by a shallow brick stub-wall at one end.

      The drive is gravel, probably following its original track, and the garden has a series of large trees of long standing. A high fence with a timber frame and painted galvanized iron skin obscures the verandah and west elevation from the street.
