Description
Houghton House is a house dating from the late 17th century, which was refronted in the mid and late 18th century. It has a timber frame with a red brick facing and a plain tile roof featuring a large ridge stack and a single gable stack. The house follows an original lobby entry plan.
The exterior is two storeys high with a three-window street front. The right section of the front, which was updated in the mid 18th century, has two three-light wooden casement windows, and above them are two three-light casements with leaded lights that project above the eaves, each topped with eye-brow dormer roofs. The left section, fronted in the late 18th century, features a large three-light cross casement window below another three-light casement with leaded lights and an eye-brow dormer roof above. The right return wall, rendered over the timber framing, has a single casement window.
