Description
This is a detached house, originally a single building, now divided into two separate houses. The core of the building dates back to the 16th century, but it has been significantly altered over several phases, particularly in the 17th century. The front façade was rebuilt and the roof converted to a mansard style in the 18th century, with a further extension added on the left-hand side in the 19th century. The construction is primarily brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with red brick dressings. The ground floor and basement are cement rendered. Plain horizontal bands are visible at the first and second floor levels. The roof is slate-covered with three dormers visible from the rear. The house has three storeys and a basement, with five windows on the main façade, plus one window to the left-hand extension and three to the projecting two-storey extension on the right. A central entrance features a six-panelled door with an overlight, approached by steps. The windows are flush-framed hornless sashes, with the upper floors set beneath gauged brick flat arches featuring keystones. A parapet tops the building. The rear elevation includes an Artisan Mannerist brick doorcase with blocked windows positioned above it. The interior of Latimer House features a 17th-century dogleg staircase with turned balusters and square newels, along with plain panelling, cornices, chimney pieces and doors. Holly House includes a rear ground floor room featuring mahogany panelling, folding shutters with H hinges, a chimney piece and six-panel doors with large cornices to their cases. Attached garden walls run along the rear, and a low front wall has cast iron railings with torch flambe finials. A wrought iron gate features scroll-patterned standards and an overthrow displaying a monogram containing the letters 'T', 'E' and 'M'. The parents of Thomas Mawson, baptised in 1684, were Thomas and Elizabeth.
