General notes:

Period: EdwardianConstruction date: c1911History:The house at 21 Kensington Road was built c.1911. It is first listed in the Sands & McDougall directory in 1912, when the occupant was Bernard Tenni, who remained there until at least 1920..Description:The house at 21 Kensington Road is a single-storey, block-fronted Edwardian cottage built on an L-shaped plan and with a hipped and gabled corrugated galvanised steel roof. The verandah has timber posts and a timber fretted frieze. Windows are paired timber-framed double-hung sashes; those to the projecting bay have a timber bracketed hood. The red brick chimneys have corbelled cappings. The woven wire front fence is not original..Significance:The house at 21 Kensington Road, Kensington, is of local historical and aesthetic interest. The house is representative of the development in the area in the early twentieth century. Aesthetically, the house is an intact example of the Edwardian timber villas which were constructed in this part of Kensington in the 1910s. The house is a contributory element in a largely intact streetscape.
