End House, Hopdene House And Hopedene Court

This is a house, now divided into End House, Hopedene House, and Hopedene Court, originally built in the 1870s by Richard Norman Shaw for Hensleigh Wedgewood. It was extended in 1878-9 and again in 1902 by Percy Ginham, who added a nursery wing. The building is constructed of red brick with tile hanging and some timber framing, all under plain tiled roofs. The layout is L-shaped, with a projecting wing to the left and a forecourt between the two ranges.

The house is two storeys with attics, featuring dormers and gables. Notable features include tall, ribbed, and corbelled stacks, the largest with a star shape at the front centre, additional stacks to the left and rear right. The tile hanging on the first floor extends over the ground floor. There's an angle bay oriel window on the first floor to the right, with five lights across the front, and a bow-shaped oriel window on the first floor of the left gable. A large half-hip end has two four-light attic casement windows either side of the stack. A fifteen-light (3 x 5) leaded fixed window is on the first floor to the right of the stack, and a five-light first-floor window to the left. Three first-floor windows are positioned to the left. The wing to the left includes a ridge-cresting and a timber-framed gable bay. The right return front has a dormer and an angle bay under a hip roof.

The rear features a double-gabled range with five-light attic dormer windows, mullioned and transomed windows on the first floor, and a seven-light ground floor window to the left of centre. The majority of the rear is tile hung. A porch is situated to the right under the bow oriel, with margin and leaded transome lights on brick plinth walls. The original entrance is to the left in the half-hipped range, with a pointed arched porch recess. A stone-dressed door is located on the left-hand wing. A mullioned and transomed window is on the first floor of the gable, with a four-light cambered head window on the ground floor in a blocked former entrance, outlined by stone moulding.
