#5581. Traditional English Brick Façade: Interwar Elegance of a Semi-Detached House

The photograph showcases an elegant brick house in British style, likely dating back to the interwar period (1920s-1930s). The architecture exemplifies the characteristic semi-detached housing type common in London suburbs, where two properties share a common wall.

The façade is constructed of dark clinker brick with decorative elements of red brick that accentuate horizontal bands and window surrounds. A notable feature is the central bay window projecting from the façade and topped with a pointed roof. Large windows with traditional wooden frames and multi-pane divisions ensure abundant natural light enters the interior spaces.

The roof is covered with slate tiles and features a characteristic slope with a substantial brick chimney. The entrance is highlighted by a small canopy and painted in traditional dark green, creating a pleasing contrast with the brickwork. In front of the house lies a well-maintained terrace with a brick retaining wall and steps leading to the front door. The lower level of the building includes a garage with modern doors.

The landscaped area in front of the house, with ornamental plants and shrubs, creates a cozy atmosphere and harmoniously complements the overall appearance of this typical British suburban home, which combines elements of traditional architecture with functionality.
