Description

Kimbridge House is a medium-sized country house built in 1865, with alterations made in 1905-1906 in the Arts & Crafts style. The house is constructed of brick, featuring tile-hung and false timber-framing, topped with an old plain tile roof. It has a two-storey and attic layout, consisting of six bays, with a short wing at one end that has a gable opposite. The original structure from 1865 was modified in 1905-1906 by adding a two-bay, two-storey parallel range that incorporates the short wing, along with another wing in front. At the opposite end, there is a double-pile two-gable wing.

Between the wings, there is a front outshot with a central door, which connects to a contemporary low service building of T-shaped plan. The front features a gabled timber porch to the right of the center, set on a brick plinth and open at the front, with a heavy carved top-glazed door. Each side of the porch has a three-light casement window with an ogee head. Above the outshot roof, there are two three-light hip-roofed casement windows.

In the short parallel range to the left, there is a four-light transomed window. The left side projects forward with a tile-hung gabled wing, which has a projecting oriel on the right side with a gable above. At the right end, there is a double-gabled wing with a three-light casement in the left bay on each floor, and a two-storey canted bay with four-light casements in the right bay. A gabled oriel is located at the first-floor level on the side. All windows feature leaded lights.

The house has ridge stacks on each side of the door, between the end bays, and a stack between the gables of the right wings, with an additional stack on the right side of the left wing cutting into the gable. The T-shaped service range includes round and octagonal windows with tile dressings, a hipped roof with gablets, and an intricate brick and tile stack at the corner near the wall. A wall along the roadside has tiled coping and ramps leading up to a doorway with tile dressing and a carved oak door.
