Listing: The Pheasant, Wood End Road. Comment: A
solid design in orange-buff brick, in a Neo-Georgian style going
moderne, set diagonally to make the most of its important corner
site. Seven bays with sash windows on both floors linked by recessed
panels now partly obscured by recent signage. Cornice and hipped
roof covered in green tiles.
Where we would expect a classical doorcase, however, there is a
solid, stepped up moderne surround. Quarter round projections
recessed at both sides. One well placed tall chimney on the right
hand side breaks the symmetry. Flanking walls with gate piers topped
by urns remain to either side, but the garden has been built on.
