Description
Carlisle House is a villa or boarding house, now a private residence, built in 1869. It is possibly designed by Sir Joseph Paxton for the Duke of Devonshire. The building features coursed millstone grit with ashlar dressings, a shallow hipped Welsh slate roof, and two stone stacks.
The exterior consists of two storeys and attics, with a chamfered plinth and bracketed eaves. It has a double front with a three-window range. The central doorway is framed by a pilaster surround and a cornice inscribed with "CARLISLE HOUSE," and it includes double glazed doors and an overlight. Above the doorway is a 2/2 sash window in a moulded ashlar surround. On either side of the entrance are single two-storey canted bay windows topped with hipped slate roofs, each containing 2/2 plain sashes. Above these, there are three gabled through-eaves dormer windows, which include a 20th-century window and two 2/2 sashes, with a raised datestone below the central window. The right return has three windows with through-eaves gabled dormers and a doorway to the right.
The interior has not been inspected. The Broad Walk, where Carlisle House is located, features a series of Victorian villas and a walkway overlooking the Pavilion Gardens, originally designed by Paxton around 1850. Most surrounding houses were built by speculative developers, with some said to be designed in detail by Paxton's pupil Edward Milner from 1871, and constructed by Saunders & Woolcott of London for the 7th Duke.
