Description
Oxford House is a substantial house, likely built in the early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the early 19th century. The building features rendered walls and roofs made of Welsh slate and old plain tiles, arranged in an L-plan layout. It has two storeys.
The earlier block, positioned at the angle of the ranges, has a symmetrical three-window front facing north. This section includes a plinth, a storey band, and a deep plaster eaves cove. The early 19th-century pilastered stucco doorcase contains a glazed two-leaf door, while the windows are fitted with 16-pane early 19th-century sashes.
To the left, there is a three-window range that shares a similar plinth and storey band but features a lower-pitched roof. This section has a six-panel door with a plain stucco doorcase and a projecting keyblock, along with 16-pane sashes on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes above. The roof of the earlier section is hipped to the right and extends over the three-window west front, which likely originally had four windows. This front also has a six-panel door in a pilastered doorcase and similar 16-pane sashes.
There is a two-window extension to the range, which lacks the eaves cove but has a steep roof, 16-pane sashes, and a plain doorway. The interior has not been inspected.
