Description
Lambseth House is a house with a late 16th-century timber-framed rear wing and a brick front block added in the early 19th century. The front facade is rendered and colourwashed, with a slate roof, while the rear wing has a pantiled roof. The house has two storeys and a three-window range to the front. A studded door is centrally positioned beneath a three-vaned fanlight. There are two mid-19th century, three-light casement windows on either side of the door, each set under a hood mould with label stops. The first floor has three similar casement windows, the central one being a two-light design. The roof is hipped. A late 19th-century, full-height canted bay window is on the north return, fitted with 6/6 sash windows lacking horns. The two-storey rear wing features a three-window range with a central plank door and 19th-century two- and three-light casement windows under hood moulds with label stops. An external gable-end stack is located to the west. Inside, a stick-baluster staircase has a ramped handrail. The rear wing contains bridging beams with sunk-quadrant mouldings, a west wall plate with knuckle braces, and a clasped purlin roof with undiminished principals.
