What style is this distinctive Victorian London house

[Sarah_W]

I see a lot of Victorian semis in this style across London - very distinctive with mock tudor wood on the gable end and a sharp edged double bay window protrusion across both floors. Has it got a particular name?

I don't think that style is common to my corner of London. I suppose the specific style is quite dependent on the company that built it? Just rambling aloud sorry I've got no idea what the answer to your question is..

The house has some 'Italianate' style features such as the pair of arched windows of the 'High Victorian Gothic' era. The outward facing Gable is indicative of a Higher class, house due to the steep pitch. The detailing indicates it may be mid to late Victorian, though possibly slightly later as it has some 'New English Revival Style' features such as the iclusions of sme gothic style influences.

Id probably date it between 1870 and 1890, though origional doors and windows are not vissible so it is difficult to know for sure looking at the photo.

It may however be a turn of the century house as there was a building boom which mixed up a lot of the styles.

Hope that helps.

Looking at the EPC with a rating of 1/100, I'd say the best name is 'knackered'.
Not sure the Victorians did their houses in battleship grey tho'

I don't think they have a discrete name.

I'd call it 'ornate square bayed victorian end of terrace'. I might add, 'that's been buggered about with'.

There were plenty of houses in a very similar style on my old road in Streatham. All the houses were built between 1880 and 1890 so slap bang in the middle of your prediction.
