Brixton House

Brixton House is a house built around the late 18th century or early 19th century, with a west front added in 1835 by George Wightwick for Henry Collins-Splatt. The house has undergone alterations around 1850 and in the late 19th century. It is constructed of rendered stone and features a double span gable-ended slate roof on the original house, while the west front has a slate hipped roof. The building is two storeys high and has five bays, with sash windows that have glazing bars and moulded eaved architraves. The right-hand windows are blind. The centre first-floor window is a Venetian style with blind side lights, a cornice, and a pediment on consoles above the centre light. The ground floor includes a large porch and porte-cochère from around 1850, featuring Corinthian pilastered corner piers and two Corinthian columns between them, supporting an entablature with a balustrade. The south garden front has mid-19th century two-storey square and splayed bays. Inside, the hall features Corinthian columns in the screen, a later 19th-century Jacobean style wooden chimneypiece, and a staircase. The drawing room contains a marble chimneypiece with an iron stove on casters for easy cleaning. There is also a circa 1900 chimneypiece in the dining room. A monument to Henry Collins-Splatt, who lived from 1800 to 1891, can be found in the nearby church.
