Description

This is a house, likely built around 1800, that was raised and altered in the 1870s and is now used as an office. It is roughcast with a slate Mansard roof, and has end stacks with brick shafts to the main block and a similar stack to the rear wing. The house has a symmetrical three-bay front and a rear service wing set at a right angle.

A timber doorcase with Tuscan columns, an entablature, and a broken pediment frames the front door. The door itself is six-panelled, with the upper panels glazed and a plain overlight. The ground and first floors each have three four-pane sash windows, likely dating to the 1870s, set within earlier openings. Three gabled attic dormers, also from the 1870s, have pierced ridge tiles, deep eaves, shaped bargeboards forming a round-headed arch with pilasters on either side and are glazed with two-light casements, three panes per light, with a round-headed light above a moulded transom. A sixteen-pane sash window from the early 19th century is preserved on the left return of the rear wing. The interior of the house was not inspected. A director of the local building firm Berry and Vincent formerly lived here. The property has group value with the parish church and Grove Terrace.
