Description
Kytes House is an early 19th-century brown brick house located on Kytes Drive in Garston. It is two storeys high with low-pitched hipped slate roofs. The original design features a projecting centre with two bays and two bay wings, with two and three windows on the end elevations. The windows are glazing bar sashes, and there is a raised brick band beneath the eaves.
Later additions in red brick include lower two-storey blocks with slate roofs flanking the centre, a slate-roofed glazed passage at the west end, and a similar open verandah across the centre and right side. These additions feature brick pilasters and stucco capitals. A three-sided bay projects from the centre beneath the verandah roof.
