Period: EdwardianConstruction date: c1917History:The house at 29 Westbourne Road was constructed c.1917. It is first listed in the Sands & McDougall directory in 1918, when it was occupied by Norbal Pike, who had lived in the adjacent house (No.27) the previous year..Description:The house at 29 Westbourne Road is a single-storey block-fronted Edwardian cottage with a corrugated galvanised steel gambrel roof. A small bullnose-profile verandah extends across the facade, supported on turned timber posts and embellished with ornate cast iron lacework. Raised on a plinth, the verandah is approached by a timber stair (not original) with timber balustrading. The timber panelled door has a glazed upper panel and a fanlight. The chimney is of red brick, with corbelled cappings. The timber picket fence is recent..Significance:The house at 29 Westbourne Road, Kensington, are of local historical and aesthetic interest. The house is an example of the type of small timber Edwardian cottages which were constructed in large numbers in this part of Kensington in the 1910s. The house is a contributory element in a largely intact streetscape.
