5-7 Edgecombe Street - Physical Description 1
5-7 Edgecombe Street, Kew, comprises an attached pair of double-storey inter-war flats of clinker brick construction which read as a single large house. The simple hipped roof form is clad with terracotta tiles and is penetrated by a pair of clinker brick chimneys which have engaged chimney breasts and a full height vertical band of render. The asymmetrical facade comprises two broad bays and each bay contains a small recessed entrance porch with timber-framed entrance door with ribbed glazing and non-original screen doors and porch tiling. Fenestration between floor levels is regular and repetitive and all openings contain steel-framed casement sashes.
Brick garages were constructed at the rear of each flat in the late 1970s and in 1990 an application was made for brick additions to the rear of No.7. The property is screened by a red face brick wall with two sets of wrought iron gates (possibly non-original) and each garden is lit by a cast coach lamp, matching those at 1-3 Edgecombe Street.
