Davenport House And Boundary Wall

Davenport House is a house dating from the late 18th century and 19th century, constructed of brick with a pebble-dashed finish, and featuring a 20th-century hipped pantile roof. The ground level has a rendered plinth, stone sills, dentillated eaves, two sidewall stacks, and extends over three storeys with three bays, forming an L-shaped layout. The front facade features a 20th-century open timber porch with a pitched slate roof, a moulded timber doorcase which includes paterae, a modillioned cornice, and Adam style decoration; the overlight has Gothic tracery. A 19th-century six-panel half-glazed door is set within the doorcase. To the left of the entrance is a 19th-century canted timber bay window with three plain sashes, and to the right is a single glazing bar sash. Above, there are three glazing bar sashes on each floor. A further 19th-century rear wing is present, with a hipped pantiled roof and a single gable stack. A brick boundary wall runs along Mattersey Road, with a stone coping and 14 intermediate brick buttresses, extending for approximately 60 metres.
