Description
Cherwell House is a house that has been converted into offices, built around 1859 by the architect Thomas Chambers Hine of Nottingham. The building features red brick construction with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, showcasing a Gothic Revival style. It has a plinth and moulded brick eaves and is situated on a corner site.
The house is two storeys high, plus a basement and attics, and has a three-window range. The windows display various Gothic patterns, complete with stone surrounds and mullions. The central doorway is notable for its traceried pointed arched head and hood mould, leading to a recessed fielded panelled door flanked by sidelights. Above the door is a two-light shouldered window, and above that, a gabled dormer with two round-headed lights.
To the left of the entrance is a canted bay window made of ashlar and brick, featuring three plain sashes and sidelights beneath a traceried balustrade. Above this bay window are three trefoil-headed lights, and above again is a through-eaves dormer with two round-headed lights. On the right side, there is another bay window that extends two storeys plus a basement, with four mullioned lights in the basement and two segment-arched plain sashes on the ground floor. The canted upper stage of this bay window has five shouldered lights.
The right return of the building has two gables; the left gable contains a segment-arched plain sash and a shouldered three-light window above it, followed by a graduated trefoil-headed window with three lights. The set-back right gable has similar window styles with two-light upper windows. The rear of the building features two gables and an external stack, along with two central mullioned stair windows.
