Deepdale, Deepdene

House, later subdivided into three properties. Built circa 1914 for Colonel Malcolm, with the architect thought to be James Ransome. The building underwent some refurbishment in the later 20th century. It is designed in the Vernacular Revival style.

The house is constructed of brown brick with some black brick diaperwork and timberframing, with stone dressings and a plain-tiled roof with four tall brick chimneys. It is two storeys with attics and has an irregular fenestration of stone mullioned windows. The plan is L-shaped.

The north-west or entrance front is of two storeys and attics in brown brick with black diaperwork. It has irregular fenestration with five main windows, mostly double casements, but on the first floor there are four mullioned and transomed windows including two five-light canted bays that extend through both floors. The right-hand one is a staircase window with three tiers. There is a small eyebrow dormer over the right-hand window. Two doorcases have stone surrounds and flat wooden hoods, one at the centre of the north front and one in the angle of the L, which has a metal grille. The north return front has two bays with an M-shaped roof and ornamental rainwaterhead.

The south or garden front is of five bays. The upper floor of the three central bays is timberframed with plastered infill, and the end bays project with gables with tumbling-in. There are two small eyebrow dormers over the penultimate windows. A central French window has a tiled gable above, and a large canted stone bay to the ground floor supports a wooden balustrade with splat balusters. The end windows have six-light curved bays to the first floor and seven-light mullioned and transomed curved bays to the ground floor. At the south-eastern corner is an attached single-storey square garden loggia with a pyramidal tiled roof and round-headed openings. Originally open, it was glazed in the later 20th century.

The east side has brick with diaperwork in its southern part and a timberframed first floor in its northern part. A large gable end to the south has an external brick chimneystack. A further gable has a four-light mullioned and transomed window to the first floor and a six-light mullioned and transomed window to the ground floor. The northern part has a small eyebrow dormer, three mullioned windows, and a later 20th-century flat-roofed extension to the ground floor.

The interior contains an imperial staircase with a curved lower flight and oak balustrading that terminates in square piers with urn finials. The former Lounge has oak panelling, a stone fireplace, and exposed ceiling beams. The former Drawing Room has panelling with a dado rail and a smaller stone fireplace with a cambered head. The former Billiard Room has an original large stone fireplace with a brick back, which is partially renewed. It has oak plank and muntin panelling (partially painted) and chamfered ceiling beams now painted. Original panelled doors on the ground floor are either two-panelled or multi-panelled. The first floor retains original doors with one horizontal and three vertical panels. A later 20th-century well staircase of traditional type with stick balusters and square newel posts was inserted into number 30 at the time of conversion.
