Fountain Villa

Fountain Villa is a mid-18th century house that was enlarged and refaced around 1830 to 1840. It is set back between Spencer Road and Buckingham Road, accessible via the same passage that leads to Chestnut Cottage, with a garden door opening onto Buckingham Road.

The south front features two adjoining gabled bays with slate roofs, standing two storeys high. The left bay is constructed of stone rubble with brick quoins, while the right bay is entirely faced in painted brick. Each bay has two windows; the windows in the brick bay are recessed, while those in the rubble bay have moulded flush wood frames. All windows are sash with intact glazing bars. A glazed rectangular porch has been added to the ground floor on the left side.

The north garden front is also faced in painted brick and has a parapet and cornice that conceal a hipped slate roof. There is a band between the storeys and five windows, three of which are located in a mid-19th century bay to the east. The windows are recessed, with moulded flush wood frames; the centre window is round-headed within a rectangular frame, and the western window on the first floor features a keystone. All windows are sash with intact glazing bars, except for those in the bay.

An enclosed stucco porch with round-headed windows on the sides, a cornice, and a blocking course above leads to a recessed door with four fielded panels. The house was used as a lock-up for French prisoners during the Napoleonic wars.
