112 Westbourne Grove - Physical Description 1
112 Westbourne Grove is a two-storey, double-fronted, Italianate, asymmetrical villa of rendered brick construction. The hipped roof was a bracketed eaves. A two-storey cast-iron verandah is located on the western facade. A two-storey bay window faces the street. Double-hung sash windows at ground level have moulded architraves, scrolled cresting and swagged panels below the bracketed sills. The first floor double-hung sash windows have balustrading beneath the sills suggesting a balconette, and the openings are enriched with acanthus leaves, heavy architraves and keystones. A heavy string-mould divides the storeys while the iron friezework depicts a repeating leaf motif
Alterations include the replacement of the front fence, with inappropriate cream brickwork, the replacement of the roof cladding, probably originally slate, with glazed terracotta tiling and the alterations to the roofing and guttering of the verandah.
