Pipes Place

Pipes Place is an 18th-century building with a 19th-century front addition. It is constructed of red brick with grey headers and has a tiled roof, topped by a painted timber eaves cornice. The main rectangular building has a hipped roof at both ends. A projecting front addition has a flat lead roof. The main front elevation is three storeys high, with a projecting ground floor featuring six sash windows. The floors above each have four sash windows retaining their glazing bars. Ornamental terra cotta panels are centrally positioned on the first and second floors. A string course runs along the first floor level. A recessed two-storey side addition features three sash windows to both the ground and first floors. In 1790, Pipes Place belonged to Mr. Maplesden, as recorded in Arch Cant Volume 23, page 84. The estate was planned and recorded by architect Chas Sloane (1690-1764), as documented in Arch Cant Volume 80, page 211.
