Roade House

Roade House is a house dating from the early to mid-19th century. It is built of orange brick in Flemish bond with yellow headers, topped by a Welsh slate roof and featuring four brick chimneys. The house has a two-storey, four-bay front with a moulded stone cornice and a low blocking course. The windows are 12-pane sashes with flat gauged brick heads and stone sills, and the upper windows have shaped pelmets. The second bay includes a projecting flat porch adorned with a fringe of cast-iron palmettes and anthemions, supported by thin iron columns. Behind the porch is a door with four fielded panels, accessed by three stone steps and framed by a simple wooden doorcase with panelled reveals. There is also an inserted but now blocked doorway at the right end of the house. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to be a very intact example of a modest late Georgian house.
