Filgrave House

Filgrave House is an early 19th century former Rectory and stuccoed villa. It has a shallow-pitched slate roof with two symmetrical chimneys and eaves supported by pairs of cut brackets. The north front comprises a main block of three bays, with a central segmental bow extending outwards. The eaves continue over the bow. The first floor has a sash window above a recessed panel, and a half-glazed door is set within a porch featuring Doric columns, an entablature with a triglyph frieze, and a blocking course, approached by a wide flight of stone steps with semi-circular ends. Upper sash windows are located in the outer bays above larger sashes within segmental headed recesses, with an impost band that extends over the central bow and aligns with the porch blocking course. A two-storey wing extends to the left, featuring a six-panel door and arched three-pane fanlight above a sash window. A lower service wing is further to the left. The west front features four bays with sash windows, and a large segmental bow with a cornice and flat lead semi-dome on the ground floor. The south front has three bays, with the centre bay slightly projecting, and the ground floor sash window set within a segmental headed recess with impost bands. The interior retains original, simple joinery in the manner of architect Sir John Soane, including a curving staircase in the north bow that rises above the front door.
