Description
Egypt House is a large, asymmetrical L-shaped house built around 1880, located on Queens Road in West Cowes. Constructed of red brick with a tiled roof, it features two storeys and has seven windows on the front elevation and four on the east wing. The front elevation includes buttresses, a cornice made of bricks set diagonally, a crenellated parapet with crockets at intervals, and an off-centre triangular gable with a two-storey canted bay beneath it. The windows are mullioned and transomed casements, with some ground floor windows featuring hood moulding. On the right side elevation, there is a porch with a crenellated parapet and a four-centred archway, while the left side showcases a three-storey tower.
