Rutland House And Boundary Wall

Rutland House is a house dating from the early 18th century, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is constructed of brick, with a rubble plinth, rendered surfaces, and a steep-pitched plain tile roof. It features stucco lintels, stone dressings, a first-floor brick band, moulded timber eaves, two coped gables, a single off-centre ridge stack, and a single gable stack. The house has two storeys with attics and originally had four windows. A central, gabled brick porch, dating from the 19th century, has a round arched opening and a 19th-century door, flanked by two 20th-century two-light casements. To the west of the porch is a 19th-century plain sash window, and to the east a 19th-century canted bay window with three plain sashes. Above these are four 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars. Above those are four gabled dormers, each with a single 18th-century glazing bar light. The west gable features two 19th-century glazing bar sashes, with a single 19th-century glazing bar sash above. The east gable has a 20th-century three-light glazing bar metal casement, with a similar casement above. The interior contains an early 19th-century staircase and 18th-century panelling on the first-floor landing. There have been extensive additions to the rear in the late 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. A boundary wall constructed of brick with stone coping, approximately 20 metres long, runs along Low Street. A carriage entrance is located to the east, with timber posts. A wicket gate is situated to the west, leading to ramps and blue-brick capped piers which support a 19th-century curved top diagonal matchboard gate.
