Description
Roxton House is a small country house built in the late 18th century, with additions from the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a stone-coped slate roof. The house has a double-pile plan with a two-span roof and a later parallel block added to the rear on the west side. It stands two storeys tall with attics.
The front elevation is symmetrical, consisting of a five-window facade across two storeys. All windows are sashes with glazing bars set under flat arches. The central doorway is adorned with an entablature featuring paterae and a modillion cornice, supported by Tuscan half columns. The door itself is partially glazed and topped with a semi-circular fanlight that has radiating glazing bars. The parapet is finished with a brick dentil cornice.
The side elevations are three windows deep, with similar window styling to the front. The east elevation has dummy windows in the centre and two attic windows. The 19th-century rear block resembles the main house but includes some casement windows.
