Alconbury House

Alconbury House is a small country house, likely built for Sir Peter Burnell, who later became Lord Gwydir, around the late 18th century. The house has a T-shaped plan and was probably enlarged between 1840 and 1860 by architects Hodson and Vesey, who added an attic storey and a two-storey canted bay to the west front. The building is constructed of red brick, with some additions in gault brick and stone dressings at the main cornice and the band between the storeys. It features a parapetted roof with tall gault brick stacks.

The north front has two storeys and includes a range of three recessed hung sash windows. There is a Doric portico, which is segmental in plan, leading to a doorway set in a round-headed arch. This doorway is flanked by narrow lights and has a three-panelled door. The garden front consists of two principal storeys, a basement, and attics. Each storey has two hung sash windows with glazing bars, which flank a segmental bay that contains two similar windows.
