Abstract: |
In November 2008 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of historic building recording at Salperton, Merry Hill Road, Bushey, Hertfordshire prior to demolition of the house in advance of the construction of a replacement dwelling. The building is a large, detached early 20th century suburban dwelling in the eclectic style typical of the Edwardian period, with characteristic asymmetry in its design and Arts and Crafts-style features associated with buildings of the period. The interior of the house retains a good representative selection of its original decorative features, though these are fairly typical of such houses, which were constructed by speculative builders under the influence of eminent contemporary architects such as C. F. Voysey. Any surviving historical or architectural significance has been diminished by the wholesale replacement of windows in modern PVCu and the enclosure of a large balcony in similar unsympathetic plastic materials. |
