Description

Camden House is a building that appears to date from the 19th century but may have origins that are earlier. It features walls and a roof made of Purbeck Stone and stands two storeys tall with attics. The ground floor includes a panelled entrance door and a two-light stone mullioned window with lead lights. On the first floor, there is a similar two-light window alongside a single-light window. The attic has one dormer with a hipped roof. The end elevation facing High Street has an inserted brick chimney stack and a canted bay window on the first floor with double-hung sashes. Additionally, there is a Purbeck Stone garden wall and modern iron gates.
