Heydon House

Heydon House is an early 19th-century house situated on the site of a former manor house, enclosed by a moat on its northern, eastern, and western sides. The house is constructed of stuccoed brick with red brick stacks and has low-pitched, slated hipped roofs. It is two storeys high with cellars. The five-bay south facade features a recessed service wing of two bays to the west. Five tall, rectangular stacks, each with three rectangular shafts and a common entablature, are a prominent feature. A band delineates the floors on the south elevation, with the central bay slightly advanced. A garden entrance is accessed by stone steps leading to a French casement window with a patterned fanlight, both set within a continuous moulded round-headed arch. Seven recessed sash windows, with slender glazing bars, are spaced evenly across the ground and first floors. The north-facing elevation features a main entrance with a large, glazed panelled door and an open portico supported by slender Doric columns. The interior retains original features.
