Vyvyan House and Attached Balustrades, Piers and Gates

Vyvyan House is a house dating to around 1860, possibly designed by J.A. Clark. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with ridge stacks and a pantile hipped roof. The house has a double-depth plan and is built in an Italianate style. The building is three storeys high with a basement, and has a three-window front. The central part of the front projects, with outer ground-floor pilasters and quoins above. The ground floor is banded, topped by a plat band, and has stone bracketed eaves. Narrow, semicircular-arched windows have horizontal sash bars. The central bay has a wide, three-light canted bay with consoles at the angles and a balustrade. The outer ground-floor windows are three-light with consoles to panelled jambs. The first-floor central three-light and outer two-light windows are framed by thin pilasters to a raised lintel, with similar smaller attic windows featuring plain surrounds and 20th-century glazing. Tall, rendered stacks have cornices. The right-hand single-storey porch has an open, banded entrance with a tall, semicircular arch, a scrolled side panel beneath a semicircular-arched side window, and an inner porch with pilasters framing a semicircular arch that contains paired windows. There is a semicircular-arched doorway with a two-leaf, eight-panel door and overlight. The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the house are balustrades to the porch, front garden piers, and gate piers with quoins and capitals to spear-headed cast-iron gates.
