Description
This early 19th-century house, now divided into two separate dwellings, was built in 1814 by Joseph Sturge, a Quaker, as a retirement home. It is constructed of stucco, with a slate roof featuring projecting eaves supported by paired brackets, and has gable stacks.
The front of the house is symmetrical, with three storeys and three windows. These are sixteen-pane sash windows with cills. A central porch has a six-panelled door, a plain fanlight, round-headed sidelights, a cornice, and a parapet. The facade is detailed with a plinth and bandcourse, and a cornice above the first floor level.
The west elevation has two sixteen-pane sash windows; the rear wing has two storeys with one sash window, alongside more modern windows, a porch and a dormer. The east elevation features a sash window at first floor and a sixteen-pane sash window at ground floor. A two-storey wing has three sixteen-pane sashes at first floor, with the left-hand window divided by a mullion. The ground floor of this wing has a similar window to the left, and a canted bay window three windows wide to the right. The rear of the property features a variety of doors and windows, including a two-light casement with leaded lights within the gable end of a wing.
