Description
Mead House is a house built around 1814, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of gault brick and features a hipped grey slate roof with projecting eaves. The house has three gault brick chimney stacks and is two storeys high with a cellar. There are two-storey bays on the right and left sides, and the front has a window arrangement of three sections, each with small paned vertically sliding sashes set under gauged brick arches. The central entrance has a half-glazed door with a moulded surround and a flat canopy supported by brackets. To the left, there is an extension that includes a window range with a round-headed light on the ground floor. Inside, there is a stick baluster staircase with a wreathed handrail. Notably, a hot air engine for pumping water was installed in the basement in 1902, as documented in "Essex and The Industrial Revolution" by J. Booker.
