Title
Houses in Pembroke Villas
Description
The row of ten mid-nineteenth century semi-detached houses of similar style and construction at 1-10 Pembroke Villas were built on the site of Fitzwilliam House and grounds after it was demolished in 1840. All of the villas were Grade II listed 1968, listing number 1065319, and are located to the north-west side of the green in the Richmond Green conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames. This view looking north from Richmond Green favours the pair of villas at numbers 1 and 2, their pilastered entrance porches and balustraded balconies being common to all of the Pembroke Villas. Given the symmetry of the ensemble of villas, the asymmetrical appearance of this pair suggests that number 1 has been extended to its side elevation, although even with the prominent two-storey bay it appears to be well blended and was probably done before parking of motor vehicles was a particular concern to its owners. It is certainly unlike numbers 9 and 10 at the opposite end, which are consistent in form with their neighbouring pair. The view of the villa beyond is largely obscured by trees, but it is possible to see the level second-floor roofline of numbers 5 and 6, giving a grander centrepiece to the ensemble of the five pairs. Also in view, parked in the road is an Austin Maxi, a Triumph Dolomite, an Austin Mini, and a Renault 6 is parked in the driveway of number 1.
