Bushey House

Bushey House is a large house, now used as offices, built around 1825, possibly for T. Clutterbuck. It was remodeled and enlarged around 1900, likely for E. H. Cuthbertson. The building features stuccoed brick with an ashlar portico and hipped slate roofs. Originally, it had five bays arranged in a 1:3:1 pattern and has been extended on the sides. The house stands three storeys tall with a central entrance and flanking ground floor bays behind a broad hexastyle Tuscan porch that includes a pediment. The outer bays of the original structure project slightly.

The windows are cross glazed casements, with a plat band at the first floor and a moulded band at the second floor, which has 2-light casements. The central window on the second floor is framed by an Ionic aedicular surround with a segmental pediment. The eaves are modillioned throughout, and the outer bays have pedimental gables with oculi in blocked moulded surrounds.

There are flanking two-storey wings that are set back slightly; the left wing has three bays, while the right has four bays, featuring a ground floor canted bay with a blind aedicular frame at the centre and stained glass in the ground floor windows. To the far right is a five-bay, one-storey passage with three windows in the central bay, all of which are tall and round-headed with traceried heads. The building includes pilaster buttresses and a coped parapet.

On the garden front, the five-bay central block has a two-storey bow in the centre with three windows and balusters in the parapet. The three central windows on the second floor have aedicular surrounds similar to those at the front. A glazed rectangular lantern is located in the central valley. The building features pilasters leading to a moulded cornice with round-arched breaks at the centre and a coved top light. The two-storey flanking wings also have canted bays, with the left wing featuring segmental-headed ground floor French windows. In the valleys behind each wing are octagonal lanterns with pilasters leading to moulded cornices with round-arched breaks and ogee copper domes. Oriel windows are present on the return walls, and to the left, there are further one, two, and three-storey blocks with similar architectural features. The interior includes an entrance hall with a triple arcade. A 20th-century block attached to the right is not of special interest.
