Description
Tong House is an early 18th-century house with a 19th-century addition, situated on the west side of Newport Road in Tong. Constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and an old tile roof, the house is two storeys high with a garret.
The design features a plinth, giant order of end pilaster strips with moulded capitals, a cornice band, a panelled parapet, parapeted gable ends with stone coping, end stacks to the right, a stack behind the ridge off-centre to the left, and two stacks to the rear. The facade is arranged with five bays, featuring windows with 19th-century mullioned and transomed frames, segmental gauged heads, and projecting triple keystones. A pair of steps leads to a central, half-glazed 19th-century door set within a doorcase of architrave, Doric pilasters supporting a full entablature, a keystone, and a segmental pediment. The left-hand end elevation has five bays. A two-storey red brick addition projecting to the right was constructed in the 19th century.
