89 Studley Park Road - Physical Description 1
The house at 89 Studley Park Road, Kew, is a double-storey interwar residence of cream brick construction with Streamlined Moderne overtones. The double-fronted asymmetrical massing of the facade comprises two main bays; a large parapeted section of cuboid form to the west and a smaller bay with hipped roof to the east. The hipped roof is finished with brown concrete tiles, box gutters concealed behind deep timber fascias and bold cream brick chimneys with a fine band of brown tapestry brick. The western bay is relieved by a curved corner at the western end with other references to the style including curved windows, a porthole window, fine horizontal banding of tapestry brick and wrought iron wall lights. A wide single-storey bay projects from the eastern section which provides for the main entrance with an open terrace above; an area contained by a fine wrought iron balustrade. The entrance is surrounded by a soldier course of brown tapestry brick and the front door is obscured by a wrought iron screen door. Fenestration is generally regular between floors and windows comprise steel-framed casement and fixed sashes, with distinctive curved glazing at the north-west corner of the building. The house appears to be intact as constructed.
A low brown brick fence appears to be original, however it is appears that minor alterations may have been made adjacent to the driveway.
