Description

Englefield House is a terraced house built around 1710. It features a brown brick exterior with red brick dressings and a tiled mansard roof that includes 20th-century dormers. The building has two storeys, attics, and a semi-basement, with four windows in total. The entrance boasts a wooden architraved doorcase, flanked by narrow sunk panels, topped with a console bracketed cornice and an open dentil pediment. The panelled door is accessed by steps. The windows have gauged brick flat arches and are fitted with flush framed sashes that have exposed boxing. To the right of the ground floor sashes, there is a narrow sunk panel. A moulded brick band runs at the first floor level, where the sashes are also flanked by narrow sunk panels. The wooden eaves cornice features block brackets. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is noted to retain good panelling, a chimney-piece in the rear ground floor room, and the original staircase.
