Meadow House

Meadow House was built in 1770 by Bonham Hayes, brother of Richard Hayes, owner of Owletts. The house is constructed of red brick with hipped slate roofs. It comprises a central two-storey block with a semi-basement and a symmetrical facade, topped by a parapet, and is flanked by single-storey pavilions connected by screen walls. A central porch, accessed by eight steps with iron railings, features Doric columns supporting a pediment above a six-panel door, which itself sits below a semi-circular fanlight. Sash windows are fitted with glazing bars. Each pavilion features a round-headed window flanked by recesses, creating the impression of a Venetian window. Above these are lunette-shaped recesses within pediments set above string courses. The north front is faced in mathematical tiles. The interior is largely of 20th-century date.
