72 High Street South - Physical Description 1
69 High Street, Kew, is a attic-storey double-fronted inter-war bungalow of rendered masonry construction with substantial 1990s attic level and more recent ground floor additions. The complex hipped and bellcast roofscape is clad with concrete roof tiles and has exposed rafters and tall rendered chimneys with splayed caps. A faceted bay located centrally in the roof may not be original, or may have been an open balcony originally. The asymmetrical facade comprises a recessed entrance screened by a deep verandah which is supported by squat tapered rendered piers bearing on a rendered wall with bow front. A projecting bay flanks the entrance and both facade bays contain faceted bay windows with banks of timber-framed double-hung sash windows with leadlight glazing and the front door is timber-framed with multi-paned leadlight glazing.
The original front fence comprised a low brick wall with rendered panels and face brick piers and remains in situ, albeit augmented by more recent brick extensions to the piers and timber paling infill panels. Additions to the house comprise extensive attic level rooms which rise up from the northern slopes of the roof, as well as recent ground level additions on the southern side of the house.
