Description
Kent House is a house that was originally built in the early to mid-18th century and later remodeled in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of brick, with the front wall rendered, while the early 18th-century narrow red and gault bricks can be seen on the end walls. It features a steeply pitched slate roof with end parapets and end stacks made of 19th-century gault brick. The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical facade with three bays. On either side of the central window and doorway, there are two painted panels of brick casing. The first floor has three hung sashes, each with twelve panes. Flanking the central doorway are two early 19th-century tripartite hung sashes, which include margin lights and a reeded surround.
