Description
Lennox House is a detached villa located at the end of a row, built around 1845. It features painted brickwork or rubble and a slate roof. The building has a compact, symmetrical design with a central throughway and a small lateral staircase, modified in the late 19th century, leading to a pyramidal hipped roof. It stands two storeys tall with three windows; the first-floor windows are 16-pane sashes with raised alternating jamb-stones, while the ground-floor windows have voussoirs and a keystone in rustication. The third bay features a full-height canted Victorian bay with 4-pane sashes and a flat roof.
The central entrance consists of a flush 19th-century panelled door with part glazing, set under an elliptical fanlight and a projecting portico supported by two slender wooden columns without bases, which carry a semicircular flat-roofed entablature. The exterior includes a slight plinth, a plain mid-string above the rusticated ground floor, and alternating quoins at the first floor. The right side of the building, facing Victoria Street, is plain but has a very small first-floor window, a large cropped chimney stack, and a small lower wing. The rear, made of painted rubble, features two original flat-roofed dormers above two 12-pane sashes and a staircase sash above a 19th-century door.
Historically, according to the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, this building was named Victoria Villa on an 1857 map and was marked as 'Hydropathic baths'. The interior has not been inspected.
