Bishop House Jewell House

Bishop House and Jewell House is a house dating from the early to mid 18th century. The front elevation is tile-hung on both floors, while the right return elevation is clad with channelled render. Each corner features a vertical wooden fillet. The building has a slate roof and consists of a main range with wings that project forward to the right and left. It is two storeys high with attics, set on a rendered chamfered plinth. The eaves cornice is moulded, and the steeply-pitched roof has hipped ends for each wing. Each wing has a rendered ridge stack positioned near the junction with the main range.

There are flat-roofed dormers with bowed 12-pane sashes in moulded architraves on the front hips of each wing. The front has a regular arrangement of four windows, including a two-storey tile-hung bow window with a bowed tripartite sash on each floor at the gable ends of the wings, and one 12-pane sash on each floor towards the ends of the main range. Central double doors, each with six fielded panels, are set in a moulded architrave with two fielded panels above. There is an open semi-circular distyle porch with a plain frieze, modillions, and a moulded cornice, accessed by three semi-circular stone steps with slightly moulded risers, leading to the centre of the main range for Bishop House. A half-glazed door is located towards the centre of the left return elevation, leading to Jewell House.

The interior has only been partly inspected but features reeded friezes and architraves, panelled doors at the front, and exposed wall posts along with a high axial beam in the rear ground-floor room of Jewell House. Bishop House includes a staircase with turned balusters and an Ionic modillioned eaves cornice in the front ground-floor room of the right wing.
