House Bramhall Cheshire

THE house illustrated has been erected for Mr D Wilson on an estate at Bramhall, and is one of about forty houses of this kind designed to meet the demands of the middle classes. It has been the aim to give a little interest to a type of edifice so generally left entirely in the builder's hands, and at a very reasonable outlay. The house illustrated comprises drawing room, dining room, hall, kitchen, pantry, and scullery; five bedrooms, bathroom, w.c, boxes; wash cellar, larder, coals, and w.c. The exterior is finished with pebble dashing, formed of Portland cement and Derbyshire spar; the roof is covered with Peake's red tiles. The interior is finished simply in character with the style of the house. In the entertaining rooms and hall deep friezes level with the tops of door architraves are used. In the bedrooms the ceilings are coved. The architect is Mr T. W. Hooley, A.R.I.B.A.
