An Historic Building Recording Survey at No. 28 Eastbury Avenue, Northwood, Hertfordshire: Building Survey

An historic building record of No. 28 Eastbury Avenue was undertaken by Cambridgeshire County Council’s Archaeological Field Unit (CCC AFU) in May 2006 on behalf of Idris-Perrineau Town Limited. The detached villa is in the Arts and Crafts style and is of unknown architect and builder. It has had little alteration in the century since its construction and retains its appeal as a surviving element of early 20th century suburbia. The villa retains many original features, which is rare in today’s renovation culture. Documentary research has revealed little, but it is probable that it is not part of the ‘Metroland’ development that typifies the character of the area, predating it by several years. The building record will be deposited with Hertfordshire County Council Historic Environment Record (HCC HER) and archive in due course.
