Tangier House

Tangier House is a Grade II* listed building dating from 1662, with 18th and 19th-century alterations. It is two storeys high with an attic and features three symmetrical elevations. The main (south) front has a window arrangement of 1.3.1, with a recessed center. The roof is tiled and has three gables, which are 19th-century modifications of an earlier Dutch gable design. The walls are made of red brick in a mixed bond, with raised quoins that blend into bands at the first and second floor levels. The windows have cut brick mouldings forming architraves on each side, although most are coated with cement, and there are rubbed flat arches in the center along with a high plinth. The windows are sashes set in exposed frames. The doorway features an architrave with a bolection moulding, topped by a later thin moulded cornice, and has a half-glazed door.

The east front has a window arrangement of 1.2.1, with a central gable above a slightly recessed center. It also has a tiled roof, brick dentil eaves, and raised quoins merging with first and second floor bands. The windows have rubbed flat arches and stone cills, with sashes in exposed frames. At the top of the gable, there is a recessed brick panel with "1662 SRH" carved in raised letters. Between the first-floor windows, there is a small niche containing a female bust, said to represent Catherine de Braganza, and a half-glazed door within an architrave.

The west front, dating from the 18th century, has a window arrangement of 1.3.1, with a slightly projecting center that features a pediment or gable. It has a tiled roof, a moulded cornice, and red brick walling in Flemish bond, with rubbed flat arches, stone cills, and a plinth. The windows are sashes set in reveals. Inside, the entrance hall is lined with oak panelling and includes some classical fireplaces. The house is named in commemoration of Catherine de Braganza, who brought Tangier as a dowry when she married Charles II. Extending east from the house is a high garden wall made of red brick.
