Description
Radnor House is a detached house dating to the third quarter of the 18th century. It is located on the Headland in Downton, originally situated 75 yards south of the Bull Hotel on the east side of the road. The house is constructed of Flemish bond brick, with a tiled roof and gable-end brick stacks. It has a 2-span roof.
The front of the house has two storeys and three windows. The central entrance features a 6-panelled door with a fanlight, set within a beaded case and topped by a semi-circular hood on brackets. Flanked on either side are 3-light casement windows with cambered flat arches. The first floor has three 2-light casement windows. Dentilled eaves run along the roofline. The right return displays a cast-iron casement on the right and two small leaded lights illuminating an inglenook fireplace. The rear of the house includes a 20th-century porch and a 3-light casement window to the ground floor, along with four 2-light casement windows on the first floor.
Inside, the front range contains 4-panelled doors within moulded architraves, while the rear range accommodates the staircase and planked doors fitted with strap hinges. A stone with the number 18 is set on the front, referencing a survey from 1784.
