Kennet House and Attached Outhouse Range

Kennet House is a late 19th-century house with an attached outhouse range, built in Ludlow. The house is constructed of rubble with timber-frame and plaster sections, featuring purple and yellow brick facing. The roof is tiled, with a hipped and gabled design culminating in a central pyramid with a cast-iron finial. Stepped rubble forms a lateral stack, and a smaller stack is present at the front. The house is two storeys high, with an attic and basement, and features a scattered arrangement of plain-glazed windows and casements. The entrance is on the right side, consisting of a six-panelled door recessed within a buttressed porch with a moulded brick arch, covered by a hipped gable roof supported by enriched consoles and braces. To the left of the entrance is a brick coped wall and a circular stair turret with a cornice roof, leading to the basement outhouse. The rear of the house incorporates a large, restored 20th-century canted bay, under a pentice roof extending over the protruding basement area. There is scattered window placement along the sides and rear. Local tradition suggests the house was built for a railway official to provide a commanding view of the railway line.
