Old Mansion Villa At Bexley Mental Hospital

This is an early 19th century house of an irregular shape, built with Roman cement facing. It is two storeys high and consists of a recessed central section flanked by two wings, each with two windows. The central section features two giant Ionic columns that extend the full height of the building, supporting an entablature, cornice, and stepped parapet. A tall, wide doorway is framed by a moulded architrave, with an iron balcony situated above it on the first floor. The left-hand side of the building includes a rounded bow window. The glazing bars are intact in the first-floor windows, but the ground-floor windows have been altered.
