8 Milfay Avenue - Physical Description 1
8 Milfay Avenue, Kew, is a two-storey interwar house of clinker brick construction in the Old English idiom with eclectic Mediaeval overtones. The simple hipped and gabled roof is clad with glazed terracotta tile and a turret is finished with terracotta shingles and surmounted by a copper weathervane. The roofscape is penetrated by a tall brick chimney and gable ends are either half timbered or infilled with roughcast render or tapestry brickwork. The asymmetrical facade features a rendered brick turret, circular in plan, with clinker brick dressings to narrow window openings and an arch with wrought iron screen door providing access to the terrazzo-tiled entrance porch. A prominent two-storey bay also projects from the facade and joins with a flat-roofed non-original garage wing. Fenestration throughout is irregular and windows are generally timber-framed double-hung sashes with diaper leadlight glazing and some coloured glass.
The non-original front fence comprises a low stone retaining wall.
