Superintendents House At Western Pumping Station

The Superintendent's House at the Western Pumping Station was built between 1872 and 1875, with a later 19th-century scullery extension. It is designed in a classical style and constructed from white Suffolk brick, topped with a hipped Bangor Countess slate roof and chimneystacks on the east, west, and north sides. The house is two storeys high and features three windows. The south front has window and door openings with moulded arches, where the mouldings extend down the jambs to the cills, and in the case of the front entrance door, down to the plinth. Other windows and doors have plain flat gauged brick arches and rubbed Portland stone cills. At the rear, there is a simple single storey scullery that extends north, featuring a slate pitched roof and a brick gable end. Additionally, there is a single storey lean-to on the west side. Inside, the house includes a staircase with elaborate cast iron balustrading. It was originally built as the Superintendent's House for the Western Pumping Station.
