Description
Bilton House is a house built in the second quarter of the 19th century. It is constructed from squared tooled stone and has a rendered rear, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The entrance front faces east and features a main block that is two storeys high and three bays wide. At the base, there is a plinth, and the central flat-topped porch has three steps leading up to a flush-panelled door located on the left side, with a parapet above that has "Percy crescent" inscribed. The front wall has a narrow 8-pane sash window, and there is a band below the moulded parapet. The house has 12-pane sash windows, some of which have been renewed, and these have slightly-projecting sills. An eaves cornice rests on paired stone brackets. The hipped roof features a banded ridge stack that has been rendered to simulate ashlar. To the right of the main block is a single-storey two-bay wing that includes 12-pane sashes, a boarded door, and a 4-pane casement on the right return. The south front of the main block has a similar arrangement of windows across its four bays. The east elevation consists of two wide bays with 12-pane sashes, except for a 20th-century window on the ground floor to the left. The rear elevation displays an arched stair window that holds a 12-pane sash with a radial head.
