Rathmore House

Rathmore House is a 1715 building located on Hoddesdon High Street. It is constructed of red brick with rubbed brick dressings and features an old tile hipped roof. The house has three storeys and a cellar, with six windows. There are moulded bands between the floors and a dentil cornice below the parapet. The entrance is marked by an ornate Doric doorcase that includes fluted pilasters, a triglyph frieze with patterned metopes (one of which contains the date), a mutule pediment, fielded soffit panels, and a semicircular fan with thick radiating bars. The windows are 6/6-pane sash windows. The rear elevation showcases a modillioned eaves cornice that wraps around a central hipped-roof staircase tower, along with early 19th-century, slate-roofed, two-storey additions on the north and south sides.

Inside, the house features a fielded panel staircase hall and a dogleg stair with balusters arranged in triplets. There is also a well-finished panelled room on the north side of the ground floor, which includes a box cornice.
