Description
Richmond House is a house dating from the late 16th century. It is timber framed and roughcast-rendered, topped with a roof made of glazed black pantiles. The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring five windows. The windows are 18th-century casements with mid-20th-century square-leaded glass. There is a lobby entrance that includes a 19th-century porch with a crenellated parapet. The entrance has a six-panel raised and fielded door, with the upper two panels being glazed, and an architrave adorned with corner roundels. The house has an internal stack and a gable stack on the right side. The interior has not been examined.
