Description

Grosvenor House is a building from the 18th century with 19th-century additions. It stands three storeys tall and has three windows. The roof is slate and hipped, while the front is made of stone rubble. The windows are three panes wide and set in reveals with stone dressings. In the central bay on the first floor, there is a round-headed window featuring Gothic glazing. The doorway is flanked by panelled pilasters and has a small moulded cornice on brackets above it. The entrance includes a six-panelled door set in fielded panelled reveals, with a blocked semi-circular fanlight above. There is an 18th-century wing at the back that faces Parsons Pool.
