2 Howard Street - Physical Description 1
2 Howard Street, Kew, is double-fronted interwar brick attic-storey bungalow. The transverse gabled roof has terracotta tiles, exposed rafters, tall slender brick chimneys with original pots and an eyelid dormer. The house has clinker brick walls with timber shingle cladding to the dormer window and gable end. A deep central porch with buttressed piers and brick dwarf walls projects from the asymmetrical facade and the entrance contains a solid timber door with V-jointed cladding. The windows are generally timber-framed double-hung sashes, with leadlight top sashes and the south-west corner contains a return corner window with shingle cladding above. The dormer contains a row of timber-framed multi-paned sash windows. Alterations to the front of the house appear to be limited to new light fittings and landscaping works, however any additions made to the rear as proposed in 1990 do not impact on the views from the street.
The property has a non-original brick front fence with steel palisade and gates and stamped concrete garden path and driveway leading to a 1950s brick garage at the side.
