24 Miller Grove - Physical Description 1
The house at 24 Miller Grove, Kew, is an attic-storey double-fronted Federation Queen Anne villa of red brick construction on a bluestone plinth and an essentially symmetrical plan. The gabled roof is clad with non-original concrete tiles and embellished with terracotta finials and ridge cresting, half timbered gable ends with roughcast infill and lattice screens, bracketed flying gables to projecting bays and red brick chimneys with corbelled and rendered caps. A large dormer window with hipped roof, timber shingle cladding and non-original timber-framed windows is located centrally in the roofscape above a partially recessed porch. The porch is reached via a set of bluestone steps and the bellcast roof is supported by timber posts on a brick dwarf wall; the timber fretwork is a recent addition. The facade comprises a pair of projecting bays flanking the central entrance bay and the walls display tuckpointed brickwork with rendered bands. The entrance contains a half-glazed panelled timber door with matching surrounds and timber screen door; the original leaded glazing has been replaced with etched glass. Each projecting bay contains a bay window - one box and one bow -with shingled steel frieze and timber-framed casement sash windows and it would appear that earlier leaded highlight sash glazing has been replaced with clear glass.
Alterations to the exterior are otherwise confined to the rear of the house including a rear addition, carport and the attic windows to the east. The timber picket front fence and gates date from the late 1990s.[i]
