Rawdon House And Rawdon Terrace

Rawdon House and Rawdon Terrace comprise an earlier 19th-century terrace of houses, originally part of the development of Ashby as a spa town. The architect was possibly Robert Chaplin, who resided in one of the houses during the earlier 19th century. The street facade is primarily roughcast, with projecting paired solid porches. The eastern, or main facade, is ashlar. The buildings are two storeys and have an attic. The central and outer bays each feature three windows, with advanced three-window sections in between. The ground and first floors have French casements, while the attic has small casements. A veranda is present, supported by paired stone piers with an entablature and iron railings, situated between the advanced sections on the ground floor. A cornice runs above the first floor, with capping to the attic wall. The advanced sections feature ground floor bow windows with iron railings above. A one-window northern addition exists.
