Full Description

No 110, Sharsted, is a large detached Edwardian property built of red brick with matching gabled ends, tile hung and with a central rendered section under a hipped tiled roof. There are three dormers in the roof which has overhanging eaves with deep fascia and timber supports. There is a forward jutting porch over a massive double front door. The porch has its own narrow windows and a lead canopy on stone supports with patterned brickwork and the remains of semi-circular ornament over. The ground floor windows have contrasting stone mullions. First floor windows in the gable ends are 5 light casements with small paned fan lights above, while the central elevation has alternate two light and one light casements. The side and rear elevations are all of a piece, with three further dormers and a long staircase window visible. Now attached to the RHS possibly in the 1960s, is another property known as Little Sharsted, which may at one time have been an outbuilding or coach house. The black painted, cast iron railings around the whole of the Sharsted plot appear to be original and are contemporary with the house. They have ornamental posts and gates with typical Arts and crafts/Art Nouveau motifs. (1)
