Sewell House

Sewell House is a house that was formerly three almshouses, built around 1890. It is constructed of red brick and has a plain tiled roof, featuring decorative bands and crest tiles, all in a loosely Tudor style. The building is L-shaped in plan and has one storey with an attic.

The entrance is located at the canted outer angle of the L, featuring an original gabled porch with boarded doors that lead to a pointed arch adorned with an elaborately traceried head. The porch also has intricate bargeboards and finely leaded lights. The right return of the house includes a canted bay window with Tudor flower panels at the base and glazing bar casements. To the far right, there is a door with ornamental strap hinges and a Gothic fanlight set in a gauged brick pointed arch with a hoodmould.

On the left return, there are two small casements topped with a diapered tympanum in a gauged brick round relieving arch with a hoodmould, a cross casement with a hoodmould, and at the far end, a half-glazed door with a fanlight in a gauged brick pointed arch, also with a hoodmould. The house features three gabled two-light casement dormers at the centre and on the returns.

The main stack is located behind the ridge on the right return and has a large axial base with six octagonal shafts that have moulded bases and capping, along with cable, braid, and honeycomb designs. A similar stack is found on the front pitch of the left return, featuring zigzag and fleur-de-lis shafts. The left gable end has a cross casement with fishscale patterning in a gauged brick round arch with a hoodmould, along with brick diapering and dentillation in the attic, which also has two small casements. The right gable end features a canted bay window and a similar attic. At the rear right, there is a lean-to outshut. The interior has not been inspected. The building is included for its group value and was formerly known as Church View.
