Description

Batchworth Heath House is a late 18th-century building that has been extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. Originally constructed from red brick, it features a tiled roof and has a three-bay double-depth plan, standing two storeys high with an attic. The central entrance is framed by a door in panelled reveals and an aedicular doorcase, which includes columns with fluted capitals and a pediment with a patterned soffit. Above the entrance is a glazing bar sash window with a gauged brick flat arched head.

On either side of the entrance are two-storey canted bays, each with glazing bar sash windows set in reveals, complete with sills and gauged brick flat arched heads. The building has a plinth with a moulded head, a plat band, and dentilled cornices. The attic features nine-pane windows, and there is a coped parapet along the roofline. The end stacks are extruded with offsets, and there are brick parapets on the double gable returns.

The right return of the house has windows with cambered heads, while to the left is a 19th-century one-bay, two-storey block with a slate hipped roof. This block has two blind windows on the same plane as the canted bay, where the original sashes have been replaced with large 16-pane sashes. It also has a continuous plinth, a ground floor lean-to, and a first-floor blind window with a cambered head. The left return of the original house is stuccoed.

At the rear left, there is a two-storey block added, which features a low gabled outshut to the rear right, along with a further two-storey 20th-century rear wing that is not of special interest. Inside, the staircase has vase balusters and a moulded handrail with a double return.
