Description
Rodwell House is a mid-18th century house located on Lower Street in Baylham. It is two storeys high and features five windows. The building is constructed of red brick, which was formerly colourwashed, and has a band at the first floor level. The roof is a two-span design, covered with plaintiles, and has internal end chimneys made of red brick. The windows are sashes with flat arches made of gauged brick, flush frames, and small-pane sashes with thick glazing bars.
The entrance doorway is notable, featuring a six-panelled door with sunk panels enriched with egg and dart detailing. The broad architrave around the door is also moulded and enriched, with a carved human head projecting from it, and a dentilled pediment above. On the rear elevation, there are a pair of original Venetian windows at the upper floor, although they have been altered to accommodate early 19th-century sashes. The house has a double-pile plan.
