Description
London House is a house with a shop on the ground floor, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed of rendered brick and features the remains of a moulded stone plinth course at the front. The roof is covered with clay plain tiles and has gabled ends, with brackets supporting the eaves at the front. There are brick stacks at the axial and gable ends.
The building has a roughly square plan and is two rooms deep. The ground floor has been altered for use as a shop, and there is a 20th-century single-storey wing at the rear. The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a cellar. The symmetrical south front has two windows and features late 19th-century four-pane sash windows on the first and second floors, with the second floor windows being smaller. Plain giant corner pilasters are present, and to the left of centre, there is a lead drain-pipe. The ground floor includes a late 19th-century double-fronted shop on the right with a central doorway and canopy, and a 20th-century projecting shop window on the left.
At the rear, there are three early 18th-century two and three-light mullion-transom windows and two two-light casements on the second floor, all with iron casements. The ground floor has 20th-century windows and the single-storey wing.
Inside, the ground floor has been altered, but the staircase hall remains intact. The first and second floors feature 18th-century joinery, including fielded two-panel doors and wall panelling in the first-floor room, which has a simple cornice and Delft tiles in the fireplace. The staircase is an open-well design with a moulded string, thick turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels with pendants and long turned finials. The cellar, located under the front right-hand part of the house, is lined with rough ashlar.
