Description
Denison House is a villa, now functioning as a consulate, built in 1862. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features steeply-pitched slate roofs adorned with ridge ornamentation. The building has an H-plan layout with a side wing and is designed in the Gothic style. It stands two storeys tall, with cellars and attics, and has a three-window main range, one-window gabled wings, and a two-window side wing to the left.
The central part of the main block includes a gabled porch at the angle with the right-hand wing, featuring a moulded Tudor-arched outer doorway with a hoodmould. Above this doorway is a cross-window, and to the left, there is a tall transomed four-light Tudor-arched stair-window with cusped lights and Perpendicular tracery. The gable wall of the right wing has a shallow rectangular bay window with mullions and a transom, a cross-window at the first floor with a hoodmould, and a small attic window in the gable. The left wing's gable wall features one cross-window on each floor, with the attic window being Tudor-arched and having tracery in the head along with a hoodmould. The side wing continues to the left and includes a similar window at the first floor, another in an attic gable to the left, and a canted bay window at the ground floor. The building is topped with various ridge chimneys. The rear and interior of the property were not inspected.
