Pavilion To South Of Old Place

The Pavilion to the south of Old Place is a former stained glass studio, now a house, built around 1890 by C W Kempe. It features a fanciful mixture of Swiss and Gothic styles and has undergone alterations in the 20th century. The building has a brown brick base, with walls that are partly pebbledashed and partly tile hung, complemented by decorative timber-framing and a tiled roof.

On the north elevation, the structure has two storeys, with the ground floor made of red brick and the first floor showcasing applied timber-framing with plastered infill. A projecting gable adds to its character, and the irregular fenestration includes three or four light mullioned windows and double doors. To the right, there is an octagonal tower featuring chequerwork plasterwork decoration on the ground floor, with tile hanging above and a turret.

The south elevation includes a two-storey section where the ground floor is constructed of brown brick in a Flemish bond, while the first floor is tile hung, featuring a continuous window with alternating panes of circular opaque glass. The hipped tiled roof is topped with a wooden finial. Attached to this section is a higher turret, which is weatherboarded and has galleries on all four sides, adorned with trefoliated openings and bargeboards that include pendants and finials. This turret culminates in a weatherboarded tower with a saddleback roof. To the left, there is a two-storey range that is pebbledashed and has no windows, along with an attached tall tower that has pebbledashed lower floors and weatherboarded upper floors, featuring casement windows and a pyramidal tiled roof. The entrance is marked by a simple planked door.
