FIG 3.6: A Regency-style villa, with a distinctive shallow-pitched hipped roof covered in slate. It has deep overhanging eaves, a stuccoed exterior (originally in a stone colour) and round arched windows on the ground floor implying an arcade (row of arches). The thin border around the edge of the upper sash windows are margin lights which were popular in this period.

FIG 3.7: THE PARAGON, BLACKHEATH, LONDON: This imposing crescent was built by Michael Searle from 1794–1807 as a series of paired houses in stone-coloured stock bricks linked by low colonnades covered in stucco and featuring Coade stone decorative parts. As with most houses already featured, these were luxury homes which, in this case, the builder would customise to suit the occupant. Unlike late Victorian houses, they were designed close up to the street so one could see out and also be seen by those promenading outside.
