Description
Evington House, built between 1855 and 1865, originally served as part of the militia barracks and is now used as an office. The building is constructed from roughly coursed and squared sandstone rubble, featuring a plain tiled hipped roof with ridge and external stacks. It showcases a picturesque Tudorbethan Revival style and has a double depth plan.
The exterior consists of two storeys with an asymmetrical two-window arrangement. To the left, there is a wide gable, while the entrance is located in a lesser recessed gable on the right. The doorway is topped with a pointed banded relieving arch, and there is a single light window above it. The left gable features a squared bay window with a three-light mullioned and transomed window, along with a three-light mullioned window above. The gables are coped, and there are end wall stacks, with the chimney on the right-hand return truncated.
The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the rear of the house is a garden wall that forms the perimeter, ending in a large round entrance pier with slits in the parapet.
Evington House was constructed following the Militia Act of 1852, likely serving as office space or accommodation for the commanding officer as part of the barracks. It provided secure accommodation, an armoury, non-commissioned officer's quarters, and a drilling ground for the newly-formed militia. Many counties used their barracks as a symbolic focus for their regiments, and Macclesfield's barracks are noted for being one of the largest and most picturesque, featuring a richly detailed design with significant architectural creativity.
