Description
Kimberley House is a late 17th-century house located on the Severn side in Bewdley, with alterations dating to the late 19th and 20th centuries. The house is constructed of brick with a tile roof. It is two storeys high with an attic lit by flat-roofed dormers. Features include a modillioned wooden cornice, stone quoins, a stone band to the first floor, and a flat pentice roof to the ground floor with a coved soffit. There are four windows, featuring wooden cross-windows with rubbed brick heads and keystones. The ground floor has two square bay windows, each with two sashes containing tripartite panes. The central entrance has a wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters, and a six-panel door. A side entrance, opening into a passage, also has a wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters and a two-leaf door.
Inside, the stair hall to the rear of the main range contains an open well staircase with a moulded closed string and barley sugar balusters. A panelled partition with a ventilator formed by turned balusters is opposite the foot of the staircase; a doorway in this partition provides access to the cellar. Visible behind a door on the back of a piece of re-set panelling, graffiti reads "T HALE 1676 / IOHN WILKES / 1647 / IOHN IS MY NAME / WILKES." The two front first-floor rooms have bolection moulded fireplaces and boarded doors with applied mouldings, creating the appearance of two panels.
