Description
Maddington House is a detached house dating back to the 17th century, with an addition from the 18th century. It is built with alternating bands of limestone and flint on the 17th-century section, and English bond brick on the 18th-century wing, with tiled roofs and brick stacks. The house follows a "T" shape.
The front of the house has two storeys and four windows. A 19th-century panelled door with a fanlight is set within a porch supported by plain columns. To the right of the door is a 12-pane sash window; to the left, in the 17th-century section, are a 12-pane tripartite sash and a 3-light ovolo-mullioned window where the mullions have been cut flush. The first floor has a 12-pane sash to the right, two 2-light casements to the left, and a 19th-century oriel window to the left. The 18th-century wing has dentilled eaves and a hipped mansard roof.
The left return has a 3-light casement window to the ground floor and a 2-light casement to the first floor. The right return has four 12-pane flush sashes to both the ground and first floors, all with flat arches and dentilled eaves. There are also two raking dormers with 6-pane sashes in the attic.
The rear of the house to the right features a 19th-century porch and a 3-light casement window to the ground floor, along with a 2-light casement window to the first floor. A projecting 17th-century rear wing has a 2-light chamfered mullioned window with a hoodmould on the ground floor, and a 20-pane sash and a 2-light casement on the west side. A 19th-century bay constructed with Flemish bond has been added to the north end of this wing. The rear of the 18th-century wing has a door with six fielded panels and a fanlight, a 6-pane sash window to the first floor, and an attic dormer with dentilled eaves.
The interior was inaccessible during a survey in November 1984, but is said to include a good 18th-century newel staircase with stick balusters and a ramped handrail. An arched opening to the staircase features fluted pilasters, while the 17th-century sections have chamfered beams and some timber-framed partitioning.
