Description
The Guildford Muniment Room is a house that dates from the early 19th century and is now used as a muniment room. It is built of dun-coloured stock brick and features a low-pitched slate roof with deep eaves. The building has three storeys over a basement, with a plat band above the ground floor and brick piers at the ends on the first and second floors. There is a stack at the rear.
On the second floor, there are two 12-pane, cambered-head glazing-bar sash windows with deep reveals, while the first floor has two windows beneath gauged brick heads. A fixed plate glass window is located on the ground floor to the right, beneath the remains of a blind box. To the left, there is a door with six sunk panels and glazing-bars in the over-light. Adjacent to this is a three-quarter glazed door, separated by a thin pilaster strip and topped with a dentilled cornice. The building is included for its group value.
