Description
25 Lower Polsham Road is a house dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It has a rendered exterior and a slate roof, with end stacks featuring both rendered and brick shafts. The building has a single-depth main block that is two rooms wide, with a central entrance. It stands two storeys tall and has a symmetrical three-bay front with deep boxed eaves. The entrance features a reeded doorcase adorned with carved roundels in the upper corners and panelled reveals, leading to a recessed six-panel door with glazed upper panels. The ground-floor windows are fitted with late 18th century to early 19th century sixteen-pane sashes that include margin panes, while the first-floor windows have later four-pane horned sashes. The interior has not been inspected but may contain features of interest. The house has group value with Nos. 23 and 27, which are contemporary and have similar glazing.
