Description

Kingsmead is a late 18th-century house located on Yarmouth Road in Lowestoft. Originally known as No. 112 Yarmouth Road, it now includes three flats designated as Nos. 14, 15, and 16 Glebe Close, which are situated in the rear part of the building. The house is constructed of red brick and features roofs made of black-glazed pantiles.

The front range faces Yarmouth Road and has a full-height cross wing extending to the rear. The main south facade is two storeys high with a dormer attic and consists of three bays. The central entrance features a 20th-century six-panelled door beneath a five-vaned fanlight, all set within a timber arched doorcase topped by an open dentil pediment. On either side of the entrance are 8/8 sash windows with flush boxes and gauged skewback arches. The first floor has three similar sash windows, with the central one having 6/6 glazing bars and lacking the gauged arches.

The hipped roof has three flat-topped dormers fitted with late 20th-century top-hung casements. A late 20th-century conservatory is attached to the west gable. The rear wall of the cross wing features a stepped wall stack, partly obscured by a mid-20th-century outshut that includes a 20th-century door and casement. The cross wing also has two storeys and a dormer attic, with upper flats accessed via an external 20th-century steel staircase on the north gable wall. The doors are late 20th-century, and the windows are a mix of 20th-century casements and late 18th-century sashes. The eaves cornice has a dentil detail below a gabled roof with two sloping dormers on the west side. There is an internal gable-end stack to the north. The east side of the cross wing features a 19th-century hipped outshut, rebuilt in the 20th century, which has a glazed flat-topped window range above it.

The interior of the cross wing contains the flats and lacks any historic interest, while the south (main) block has not been inspected.
