ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War Old English Vernacular
No 12 Windsor Road is a two storey house constructed in limestone, painted brick and rendered brick with a hipped tiled roof. It is a very fine expression of the Inter-War Old English style. It is asymmetrically composed with an offset hip roofed porch. The porch is supported on rendered columns set on limestone piers. To its immediate north there is a two storey tower. There is a set of casement lights at ground floor level and an arched head window with label moulds at first floor level. The entry door is located on the south elevation under the porch. The remaining windows are casement lights in sets of three and four. The roofscape features finials.
