Richmond House

Richmond House is a symmetrical pair of houses built between 1800 and 1820. The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar with an unseen roof and moulded stacks on the party wall. They follow a double-depth plan.

The exterior has three storeys including an attic, with a symmetrical five-window front. Blind windows are located on the party wall. The outer bays project slightly forward, flanked by single-storey extensions. The building has a continuous coped parapet, an attic cornice, and a first-floor cornice with a stepped band. The attic windows are horizontal four-pane sashes, with some being blind. The first-floor windows are plate glass sashes; those in the outer bays are paired with lower sills above pavilion-roofed Regency-style porches supported on trellised bases, leading to a six-panel door in the left-hand house. The porch and door of the right-hand house are 20th century additions but are in a harmonious style.

The interior has not been inspected. Richmond House is a characteristic pair of Regency villas, demonstrating the increasingly popular semi-detached design, but reflecting the influence of urban terrace design.
