The Bath House

The Bath House is a disused cottage that was formerly a bath house, built before 1793 as part of Repton's landscape scheme over a large spring. It features dressed stone, a tiled roof, a parapet, and a stone chimney at the rear, with a painted wood cornice at the front. The west front is one storey high with a pedimented center above a blocked door that has a quatrefoil in a pointed arch, flanked by two blocked pointed windows. Each recessed wing on either side also has smaller blocked windows. The east side has a two-storey front with a projecting enclosure that has battlemented rubblestone walls and two lancet openings in the east wall. There is a modern wing on the south side. Inside, at a low level, there is a large pool that is traditionally ascribed to Roman times.
