Description
Walden House is a house built around 1880, designed in a T-plan. It is constructed of gault brick and features a modern tile roof with a deep overhang at the eaves. The gable ends have pierced bargeboarding with pendants. The house has internal and end stacks, with one stack having three diagonally set shafts and another with two.
The building is two storeys high. On the first floor, there are two casement windows with margin lights and mitred glazing bars set in rusticated stone architraves. The ground floor has a hipped roof on the left side, leading to a splayed bay with moulded mullions and similar casements. To the right, there is another similar casement window, with square-headed drip moulds above it.
At the angle of the house, there is a gabled two-storey porch made of gault brick, with weather-boarding on the first floor and an open-sided ground floor. The first floor of the porch features a three-light casement window.
