Dudley House

Dudley House is a house, later converted into flats, dating from circa 1730. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with stone sills. The roof is slate-covered, featuring four gabled dormers (replacing three earlier dormers) and gable stacks. The building is two storeys and an attic, with five bays. The layout includes a central hallway and stair hall behind the front left room. The central doorway is accessed via two steps and features an early 19th-century four-panel door with a margin-glazed fanlight, set within a stone pediment supported by console brackets and architraves. There are 12-pane sash windows within stone architraves and sills. The central first-floor window has a distinctive architrave with a lugged detail and a swept foot. More recent timber windows are set into the dormers. The rear elevation is rendered and painted, incorporating a gable. The rear windows are 16-pane sills. Recent flat-roofed extensions and an external staircase have been added. The interior is not of particular group value, although a reused 17th-century partition is said to exist in the attic. Architectural plans and a report concerning the property are held by the National Monuments Record.
