19 Howard Street - Physical Description 1
19 Howard Street, Kew, is a single-storey interwar Old English house with attic rooms. The steeply pitched gabled roof is finished with terracotta shingle tiles, the broad gables contain imitation half-timbering and a tall brick chimney penetrates the roofscape. An original dormer is set back in the transverse east-facing section of the roof, whereas the south-facing section of roof contains a non-original dormer added in 1970[i] and the front gable contains a non-original leadlight window, both associated with the construction of additional attic rooms. The asymmetrical stepped facade is of clinker brick and the entrance is screened by a timber-framed porch with catslide roof, paired timber posts, arched timber brackets and original coach lamp. The entrance door is obscured by a wrought iron screen door. Fenestration is irregular but generally comprises timber-framed double-hung and casement sash windows with leadlight glazing.
The house is set within a mature terraced landscape of cypress, camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas and other exotics and a non-original clinker brick fence with wrought iron gates defines the property. The driveway paving and carport are relatively recent.
