Blenheim House And Attached Railings

Blenheim House, built in 1844 by Henry Underwood, was originally the Minister's house for the nearby New Church and is now used as an office. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof and features a double depth plan in a plain Classical style.

It stands three storeys high with a basement and is two windows wide. The ground floor includes a doorway with an unfluted Ionic porch to the right, a panelled door with a rectangular light above, and wrought iron area railings. Notably, the ground floor window is not aligned with the upper floor windows. All windows are late 19th-century plate glass sashes, simply designed and set within architrave surrounds. The first-floor windows are adorned with cornices supported by console brackets. The cornice, parapet, and roof are not visible from the front, but there is an ashlar stack with pots on the left side. The rear elevation is also made of ashlar and features a large tripartite sash on the ground and first floors, along with a plain sash for the staircase and second floor. The roof can be seen from the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
