One by one it seems that all of the Mock-Tudor house that lie in the stretch of Petersham Road south of Sandy Lane are being modernised. In most cases the garages were included in to the house some years ago and the current spate of enhancements are enlarging the houses even further. Often this means going upwards.
In every case but one the remodelling of the roof has kept the original style (above) with thick terracotta tiles and jagged ridges.
The one exception is this work-in-progress. The colour is more or less in keeping with its neighbours but the thin slates produce a very different pattern and the ridges have no pattern at all.
As a result the house shouts out its difference as you walk past and that section of the road looks slightly less grand than it did.
