Description
Mitchell House is a villa built around 1830. It is constructed from gault brick and features low pitch hipped slate roofs with leaded surfaces, deep boarded eaves, and scroll brackets. The house has end stacks with original chimney pots and a double pile plan, making it double fronted and two storeys high. The symmetrical facade includes three recessed hung sash windows, each with twelve panes set in flat arches. Each window is adorned with a cast iron grill at the sill. The central entrance has a plain, flat roof portico made of stone and a doorway with double half-glazed doors. On either side of the entrance are full-length casement windows with fifteen panes each, complemented by tented balconies made of wooden trellis work. Inside, the only original feature that remains is a contemporary open string staircase.
