Description
Tiverton is a house built in 1908 by Sir Bannister Fletcher, designed in the Queen Anne style. It features red brick with stone dressings and a slate hipped roof, standing two storeys tall with an attic and a three-bay front. The central bay has a ground floor four-light stone mullioned window with an attached entrance beneath a four-centred arch and a recessed lugged architrave to the right. Above, there is a bowed oriel window on the first floor, which has a roughcast skirt and flanking pilasters. Above the eaves, an equilaterally triangular pediment rests on paired brackets, featuring a round-headed window and a railed balcony. A stack with a ramped-up base and cornice sits above this.
The flanking bays include ground floor sash windows with three central lights and two light side windows, all under segmental relieving arches with brick diamonds in stuccoed tympana. The first floor has four-light casements, with two central lights forming triangulated and bracketed oriels. A mutule cornice adorns the deep eaves, and there are two flat-topped two-light dormers. The building has long stone quoins at the returns, and the cornices of the end stacks are linked to the hips, with the right stack being broader.
On the garden elevation, there are two three-light first floor windows and four-light ground floor French windows in the centre, both with segmental heads similar to those at the front, flanked by first floor triangulated oriels and three dormers. The interior has not been inspected.
