Description
Maypole House is a villa built in the early 18th century, with significant early 19th-century alterations. It features a red brick exterior and a hipped slate roof with a paired internal stack. The house is double fronted and consists of two storeys. The front has three recessed twelve-pane hung sash windows set under stuccoed arches with raised key blocks. On the ground floor, two similar windows flank a central doorway that has a pediment and a pilastered doorcase, topped with a dentil frieze. At the rear, there is a kitchen wing from the early 18th century, which is framed and rendered. Maypole House is depicted on the 1844 Enclosure Award Map.
