Backwell House

Backwell House is a small country house built around 1810 to 1820. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a hipped slate roof behind a parapet with a moulded cornice and a panelled frieze. The house has two storeys, a plinth, cellars, and attics at the rear. It is designed with five bays, where the outer and central bays are slightly projected. The central bay rises above the parapet and ends with a blocking course.

The windows are glazing bar sash types; the ground floor windows in the outer bays have moulded architraves and pediments supported by brackets, set within shallow recessed, semi-circular headed niches. There are square, sunken panels above the second and fourth bays, and a moulded cill band beneath the first-floor windows. A central French door is located under a fanlight and is flanked by narrow sash windows, all beneath a projecting porch that has a curvilinear shape, Ionic columns, a panelled frieze, and a moulded cornice. Above the porch, shallow segmental headed niches and sunken square panels flank the central window, which features an architrave.

Inside, there is a cantilever staircase with a wrought iron balustrade, and the stairwell is adorned with elaborately detailed plasterwork on the dome.
