Runnymeade House

Runnymede House is a detached villa located on a corner site in Ilfracombe, built around 1840. It features a stucco exterior with steeply pitched and gabled slated roofs, adorned with tall hexagonal chimney stacks, and is designed in the Gothick style. The building has two storeys and an attic, with irregular window arrangements.

The main facade includes a projecting right-hand gabled bay and a central projecting gabled entrance porch, which has a castellated curtain wall at ground floor level to the left. The pointed arch doorway features a panelled door with two slim glazed lancets in the upper half. Most of the casement windows have horizontal glazing and hoodmoulds, with a blind window located in the ground floor right-hand bay.

The right-hand return facing Granville Road showcases a castellated parapet with a central gable, beneath which is a small two-light pointed arch window. At the first floor level, there is a projecting two-faced oriel window with four panes on each side, featuring tracery beneath the pointed roof and two rectangular apron panels with cusped designs above the stepped, pointed corbel. Flanking this oriel window at ground floor level are two canted bay windows in a similar style.

The interior has not been inspected. Runnymede House is part of a group that includes The Baths House, the entrance to tunnels, pool and beaches, Nos 1-3 Bath Place, and Nos 2 & 3 Wilder Road.
