Houses of red brick, some stone dressings, timber windows and eaves cornice, Westmorland slate gambrelled roofs. Symmetrical composition in Neo-Georgian style.
EXTERIOR: 2 main storeys with dormers in roof. Front with deeply projecting wings and centre of nine windows' width, the central 5 windows belonging to No.20 and having stone hood in middle over entrance, stone dressings round first-floor window above and wooden pediment over eaves cornice. Regular sash windows; cast-iron downpipes and gutter-head with date '1898'; eyebrow dormers in roof. The wings with deep hipped gables and irregular flank elevations east and west. Tall brick chimneys, some rising from ridge, others from flanks. The former lodge (now used as a garage to no 19) attached at north-east corner, in plain Tudor style with date plaque 1865. Brick garden wall to front with tall square brick piers capped with stone and later wooden fence and gate.
INTERIOR: Nos 20 and 21 not inspected. No 19 retains its original floor plan with the service wing located at the front of the house. Complete interior includes main balustraded staircase, winder service staircase with dumb waiter, veneered two panelled doors with original ironmongery, virtually all fireplaces, original wooden dresser and original WC compartments with original fittings and green glazed tiles, sinks and original bath on feet supported on lead tray.
HISTORICAL NOTE: Rosslyn House, an old Hampstead house, lay to the south of the present Lyndhurst Road. Its grounds were curtailed when Lyndhurst Road was laid out in the 1860s; a new lodge was then built. Rosslyn House itself was demolished in 1896. Nos 19-21 Lyndhurst Road form a strong group with the houses by Field and Harry B Measures in Lyndhurst Gardens (qv).
