The only old house on the street
This appears to owe its survival to being the school caretaker's house. It is certainly behind the same railings as the school yard.

All is changed around here and it is hard to find anything that has not been built recently, but this (presumably schoolkeeper's) house and the school behind it are from an earlier period.

Uberhaus under construction, South Acton
The Daily Telegraph in an article "Duplex apartments: going up in the world" defines Uberhaus as "a name dreamed up by one developer to make its penthouses sound different". So it's a maisonette on the top two floors of a block of flats, with its own internal staircase. This is in South Acton, a large area of council tower blocks now being regenerated, described by the developer as "just minutes from fashionable Chiswick".
