Description

London House is a house that now functions as both a residence and a shop. It dates from the mid-18th century, although it likely has earlier origins at the rear. There is a later 18th to early 19th century extension to the left, along with a late 19th century shop front and some unsympathetic alterations from the 20th century. The building is constructed of brick in Flemish bond and has been colour-washed at the front. The front features a Welsh slate roof, while the rear has a pantile roof.

The structure is L-shaped in plan, consisting of two rooms with a central entrance hall at the front, a garage to the left, and a wing to the rear right. It is two storeys tall with an attic and has five slightly irregular bays; it originally had six bays, but two windows have been blocked on either side of the central window, and there is a single-bay addition to the left. The building has a plinth and steps leading up to a 20th century glazed door set within a late 19th to early 20th century surround that includes a plain overlight, architrave, and moulded brackets supporting a corniced hood.

To the right of the entrance, there are a pair of late 19th to early 20th century plate-glass sash windows in earlier flush wooden architraves, with sills beneath keyed cambered stucco arches. On the left, the shopfront features pilasters, a plain frieze, and carved consoles that support a cornice and hood, which contains an inserted 20th century door and windows. There is also an inserted 20th century garage door at the far left. A moulded band runs along the first floor, where the windows are similar to those on the ground floor to the right, but shorter. The eaves cornice is moulded and coved, and there is a stone-coped gable to the right. The ridge and end stacks were rebuilt in the 19th century and feature cogged brick cornices. The rear wing has a steeply pitched roof with a brick-coped gable.

Inside, the ground-floor room on the right has a moulded plaster cornice and a boxed-in spine beam with a moulded plaster soffit, along with fielded-panel window shutters. The interior has not been fully investigated and the building was empty and disused at the time of the resurvey.
