Description

Cumberland House is a house that has been converted into a surgery. It dates from the early to mid 18th century and features a stucco exterior with a tile roof and brick end stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with a symmetrical five-window arrangement. It has a moulded plinth and top entablature with a pulvinated frieze, along with rusticated end pilasters. The entrance is framed by an aedicule with Doric half-columns that have fluted capitals and an Ionic entablature, featuring a fanlight with decorative glazing bars and a six-panel door. The windows have sills and include 12-pane sashes, with 9-pane sashes on the second floor. At the rear, there are two gabled wings with coped gables.

Inside, there is an open-well stair to the right of the hall, which has a closed string, column-on-vase balusters, square newels, and a moulded handrail. The dado is fielded-panelled, and many rooms feature rich Adam-style fireplaces, some adorned with relief panels of figures. Several rooms also have enriched dado rails and cornices, with a modillioned cornice in the entrance hall. It is said that the Duke of Cumberland stayed here in 1745. Cumberland House is a notable example of an early Georgian town house.
