Description
No. 16 Highweek Road is a house dating from around 1830, designed in the Picturesque Gothic style. The building is constructed of painted stucco and features a slate roof with two stacks on the left side.
The exterior showcases a gabled facade that rises two storeys with an attic, presenting a single-window range. The forward-facing gable is adorned with moulded coping, a small shield at the apex, crocketed pyramidal finials on the kneelers, set-back buttresses, and moulded string courses between the floors, along with a plinth. The windows are pointed-arched, featuring two lights with Y-tracery and 20th-century leaded panes. The apex window has a hoodmould, while the first-floor window includes a chamfered architrave and French windows with horizontal restraining bars. The ground floor has chamfered architraves, a cross-window to the left, and a door with Gothic panelling to the right. On the right side, there is a large window with eight tall Tudor-arched panes on the ground floor and a loop-hole above. The returns and the rear wing include hipped-roofed dormers with blanked-off upper corners on the casement windows.
The interior has not been inspected but is noted to contain original features, including Gothic dado panelling.
