Description

North End House is an 18th century terraced house that has been altered over time. The front of the house has a cobbled base with black mathematical tiles, red brick to the northern stair tower, cobbles with red brick dressings to the rear wing, and a tiled roof. It is two storeys over a basement with an attic, and has a three-window front, designed as a double-fronted property. A distyle porch with Doric columns, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice leads to a flat-arched entrance with overlight and a panelled door of original design. All windows are flat-arched with bracketed sills and sashes of original design, and there are eaves gutters and flat-arched dormers. Chimneys are located on the sides of the building.

A three-storey wing with a segmental-arched entrance and windows, topped with a hipped roof, is situated at the northwest corner. In the angle between this wing and the front block is a two-storey staircase tower, with a bow-fronted plan, constructed using header bond brickwork. This tower has two windows with pointed-arched glazing bars. The house was previously known as Gothic House. There are substantial additions to the rear of the front block on the ground floor, made when the house belonged to Sir Roderick Jones and his wife, the writer Enid Bagnold.

Inside, the staircase may originally date to the 18th century, featuring a turned newel, stick balusters, and a decorated string, although the layout has been altered. The former list description referred to a different property and incorrectly included Prospect Cottage and Aubrey House.
