Bookham Grove

Bookham Grove is a large house, now divided into flats, built in 1765 for Admiral Broderick and enlarged in 1822. The building features scored stucco on brick and has a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with a short service wing added to the left (east) end and is designed in a classical style. The house is two storeys high with four bays, a high basement, and an attic. It has a symmetrical facade, except for the service wing, with a string course above each principal floor.

In the center, a curved double flight of nosed steps with simple iron railings leads to a raised doorway, which is sheltered by a pedimented Roman Doric porch with a mutuled pediment. All the windows are sashed with glazing bars; those on the ground floor feature broken segmental pediments with urns, while those on the first floor have triangular pediments with carved brackets. The building has a balustraded parapet with a central pediment that contains a blind oculus, flanked by two dormers. The roof is a rectangular hipped shape with chimneys on the front and right-hand ridges.

At the east end, there is a one-bay full-height wing with an unusual octagonal corner turret, likely housing a staircase. The west end has a full-height bow with tall 15-pane sashed windows on the principal floor, accompanied by wrought-iron balconies, and 12-pane sashes at the basement and first floor. At the rear, the west half includes a two-storey wing added in 1822, featuring a three-window bow and a balustraded parapet leading to a deck with a glazed door. The remaining windows are 12-pane unhorned sashes, and there are four gabled dormers with 6-pane sashes.

Inside, the entrance hall boasts a fine geometrical staircase, and several rooms display Adam-style plaster decoration, although some partitions have been altered.
