This building isn't listed in my 1951 copy of the Middlesex volume of 'The Buildings of England'. But you can imagine what old Professor Pevsner would have to say - something like: 'Minimally classical. Pediment, pilasters and portico devoid of detail and not referable to any one or other of the orders'. The windows are entirely domestic in style (and disposition) - perhaps the original arrangement was a single tall, arched window on either side of the entrance. The aerial view on Google confirms the chapel-like plan - the building extends much further back from the street than its neighbours. The date on the pediment is 1859.
