Description
The Shrubbery is a villa dating from 1845, designed by Thomas Ellis Owen. The villa is constructed of stuccoed walls with a low-pitched Welsh slate roof and rendered stacks to the left and right on the rear slope. It is two storeys high and has three bays, with a slight projection in the centre featuring horizontal rustications. The centre bay contains a recessed four-panelled door with a radial glazed fanlight set under a round arch. Flanked on either side are sixteen-pane sash windows, each with a recessed panel below the sill. A rendered plinth rises from the ground, and a decorative guilloche band runs around the first floor. The first floor features an eight-pane sash window at the centre and sixteen-pane sash windows with recessed panels below the sills on either side. The interior of the villa has not been inspected.
