Description
Medworth House is a terrace house located on the corner with Crescent, built around 1793. It was designed alongside No. 4 Museum Square as entrance buildings to The Castle Estate. The house is constructed of local brown brick with a slate roof and a side stack. It has three storeys and a basement, featuring a shallow stone-coped parapet and a stone cill band.
On the second floor, there are three recessed twelve-paned hung sash windows set in cambered gauged red brick arches. The first floor has three similar sixteen-paned windows, and to the left of the ground floor is a 20th-century six-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight above it. The entrance is accentuated by a wooden Doric portico with a flat, moulded canopy that is elliptical in shape, leading to another six-panelled door. Some original iron railings remain in the forecourt.
Inside, the house features a plain closed string staircase and an original chimneypiece.
