Description
The Hermitage is an early 19th-century house. The main facade faces east, while the side elevation fronts the road. It is constructed of painted brick with two storeys and an attic, topped by a half-hipped tiled roof featuring three dormers and a modillion eaves cornice. The first floor has four sash windows with original glazing bars. A modern porch has been added. The north front, which faces the street and also has four window bays, has been altered with the addition of a large, modern two-window bay on both floors. Nos 13 to 17 (odd) and Nos 29 to 33 (odd) form a group with Nos 13 to 17 (odd) Portland Road.
