Trafalgar House And Garden Wall Attached To North

Trafalgar House, built around 1815 for Captain William Pryce Cumby, is a two-storey building located on Heighington Lane. The main block is constructed from tooled dressed sandstone, while the rear wing is made of rubble and brick, topped with Welsh slate roofs and brick chimney stacks. The entrance front features three bays with tooled-and-margined quoins, central replaced glazed double doors, and a two-pane overlight set in a raised surround. A Tuscan stone porch with square columns enhances the entrance. The windows have raised tooled surrounds, with elongated 15-pane sashes on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes above. The roof is low-pitched and hipped, with two ridge stacks that have stone top bands. The south front has four bays with identical window arrangements. The long rear wing includes a single-storey outshut on the north side, featuring 12-, 16-, and 20-pane sashes, and also has a low-pitched roof with two ridge stacks topped with octagonal chimney pots.

Attached to the north of the house is a tall flat-coped coursed sandstone wall that runs approximately 30 metres to join the boundary wall. This wall includes a pair of 20th-century sliding doors at the south end and a stepped-down section to the north. The wall is included for its group value. An outbuilding located at the rear of the wall is not of special interest. Trafalgar House was the home of William Pryce Cumby, who was the heroic Commander of The Bellerophon at the Battle of Trafalgar.
