Description
Cold Blow is a house built between 1921 and 1922 by Clough Williams-Ellis for Captain Rollo. It features pink painted brick and a thatched roof, with a two-storey T-plan layout. The garden front has five bays, with the central first-floor bay projecting and rounded on columns that create a loggia on the ground floor, leading to the hall. The windows are timber casements with plain boarded shutters, and there is a metal canopy over the front boarded door located in the re-entrant angle. The roof is hipped. Inside, there is a large studio in the western arm of the house, while the garage in the stem of the T has been converted into a study, along with other minor internal alterations. The original drawings for the house are kept on the premises. Additionally, there is a square detached store with a thatched roof located in the northeast angle of the property.
