Description
This is a mid-18th century house, situated on Woodcote Road, Epsom. It comprises several phases of building and includes a garden wall and the adjacent Woodcote End House as part of a group.
The road-facing facade is of red brick and features three sash windows. A late 18th-century bowed stucco porch has been added, distinguished by Tower of the Winds-style half columns, round-headed windows, and a central doorway, with a frieze and cornice. To the left of the porch is an earlier projecting wing, dating from the late 17th to early 18th century. This portion is also of red brick and has four cased sash windows, with moulded bands at floor level and as a cornice to the parapet. An old panelled door, now with a “modern Georgian” doorcase, is located to the left.
The garden elevation is of red brick, with four sashes, bands, and a parapet. It rises to an attic, topped by a square hipped roof of old tiles with two flat-topped dormers. A projecting wing on the right has a two-story segmental bowed front and a two-light sash window on each floor. Additions have been made to the left and right.
The interior features an elliptical entrance hall with a coved ceiling and a niche in the wall facing the door. Mahogany doors are present. An octagonal room to the south incorporates “Adam” detailing to the ceiling, walls, and fireplace. The room facing the garden has a panelled plaster ceiling. The original staircase has delicate fluted balusters and carved brackets.
The house was once the home of the Reverend Martin Madan (1726-1790), an Anglican clergyman with Methodist views. He retired here after publishing "Thelypthora" in 1780, a controversial work advocating polygamy as a solution to prostitution, which resulted in significant protest.
A red brick wall runs along the west side of the garden, belonging to Queen Anne House.
