Rush Grove House

Rush Grove House is an early 19th-century residence that served as the home of the Commandant of the Royal Artillery Barracks. The north entrance front features three storeys and a basement, with three windows. It is constructed of multicoloured stock brick, topped with a stone cornice and a parapet that conceals the roof. There are bands at the first and second floors, and a slightly projecting chimney is located at the center. On the second floor, there is one sash window with glazing bars on either side of the chimney, and another sash window set back in the entrance bay on the right. The first and ground floors on the left have blocked windows with stone cills, including a round-arched window on the ground floor. The right section has a round-arched window on the first floor. A projecting enclosed brick porch features a stone balustraded balcony above, with five steps leading to a modern door in a reproduction surround. Cast iron area railings are present. All windows have gauged brick arches, which are also seen on the east garden front. This front has a left section that is two storeys and a basement with three windows, featuring restored sashes with glazing bars on the first floor and a band at the cills. The ground floor has round-arched French doors with a springing band, leading to six stone steps to the center door. Later 19th-century cast iron railings are present in the area and around a small terrace outside the door. The right section of the garden front is three storeys and a basement with one window, featuring first and second floor sash windows with glazing bars, with the first floor window being three-light. There is a projecting square stone bay on the ground floor, which has a three-light sash window.
