Most ofArchery Square is part of the Walmer Seafront Conservation Area.Around Marke Wood, individually designed detached and semi-detached housesand bungalows occupy large plots. Many have interesting architectural features andsome have high brick walls giving a feeling of seclusion. The properties benefitfrom the presence of trees in the park. Those on Warwick Road enjoy a feeling ofremoteness from traffic.There remain fine examples of the distinctive 19th century properties on DoverRoad near Walmer Village. They include two and three storey terraces anddetached properties with distinctive decorative features –turrets, balconies, ironrailings and grand door cases. Most now have extensions and alterations, manyhaving been converted to multiple occupancy.Between the two areas of substantial terraces and houses described above, thehomes vary in scale and reflect the changing social needs and architectural designsthat were evident throughout the 20 th century. There are two or three storeydetached and semi-detached properties mixed with bungalows and chaletbungalows, most with garages. They are linked harmoniously by the use ofcommon materials and similar design details. They are set on wide roads with greenverges and have cultivated front gardens bounded by low brick walls. The playingfields on Salisbury Road form the southwest boundary of this area.Design DetailScale - terraces, semi-detached and detached houses of two or three storeysand bungalows, generally of individual design; early properties withdistinctive Edwardian featuresRoofs - pitched tile/slate roofs; some hipped; chimneys common; someridge tiles, finials and decorative bargeboardsWalls - red brick walls; some polychromatic brick/plaster decorations;pebble dash common in early bungalowsDoors - doors set within arched porches; Edwardian glazed doors withglazed side panels common in houses and bungalowsWindows - two-storey bay windows in larger properties in north Dover Roadand Balfour Road; original horned sash windows evident; bayscommon in bungalows; casement windows in later propertiesGardens - older properties have small front gardens; larger gardens onWarwick RoadBoundaries - generally low brick walls; mixture of brick walls, hedges and boardfencing on Herschell Square and Warwick Road; higher walls onWarwick RoadGarages - no garages on site for earlier properties on Dover Road and BalfourRoad; integral garages and hardstanding with later properties;garaging to properties on Archery Square accessed from serviceroads at the rearStreets - wide streets; trees on grass verges and in front gardens; Victorianstyle street lights on Archery Square; traffic heavy on Dover Roadand Salisbury Road; some traffic calming measures in placeTurreted terraces, Walmer Castle Road Crenellated bays, south Archery Square Dutch gable, Archery Square (listed) Substantial terrace, north Archery Square17
