Superintendent'S House At Papplewick Pumping Station

The Superintendent's House at Papplewick Pumping Station was built in 1883 by M. O. Tarbotton for the Nottingham Corporation Water Department. This two-storey building is designed in the Gothic Revival style and constructed from brick with a two-colour slate roof that features gabled and half-hipped elements. It has ashlar and moulded brick dressings, including a plinth, string course, dentillated sill band, machiolated eaves, and decorative bargeboards.

The house has an irregular L-plan and consists of three bays. The windows are a mix of mullioned and transomed casements, some of which are shouldered, along with lancet windows. On the south front, there is a gabled wing with a canted bay window to the left, and an integral porch with curved brackets and a wooden balustrade in the return angle. To the right of the porch is a casement window, with two additional casements above.

The east side features a gabled wing with a square bay window on the left, and a casement to the right. Above, there is a triple lancet window with a carved tympanum dated 1883, alongside another casement. The rear of the house includes an off-centre two-storey parapeted tower with a hipped roof and a coped wall leading to the yard. The exterior is complemented by ashlar steps with a moulded balustrade and four octagonal piers. This building serves as a detached ancillary structure to the Papplewick Pumping Station.
