Description
Seymour is a house, now divided into three dwellings, built around 1850, with the date 1853 scratched on the roof lead. It was altered in the 1980s. The building features painted stucco and has a roof re-clad in concrete tiles, with stacks truncated below the roof, except for a small axial stack at the center. The plan is L-shaped, with a 20th-century porch and cloakroom in the front angle and a large rear wing that was extended and remodeled in the 1980s.
The exterior is two storeys high with a three-window range and a 20th-century porch in the angle of the right-hand projecting gable. It has a deep enriched eaves cornice with modillions and dentils, and open pedimental gables. The windows are paired semicircular-arched sashes, with a three-light window on the ground floor to the left. The porch is a 20th-century Tuscan prostyle design, featuring a panelled soffit above a half-glazed door with nine panes at the top and two panels at the base, along with a semicircular fanlight with a circular pane flanked by paired drop mouchettes. The left-hand gable mirrors the open-pediment style and similar window arrangement. The rear wing retains some 6/6-pane sashes, but has been altered with ground-floor windows converted into doorways.
Inside, there are some four-panel doors with moulded architraves. Two ground-floor rooms feature panelled shutters on the windows and ceiling cornices. The room on the right has a cornice with a guilloche frieze on the wall and fern-type leaves on the ceiling. The chimneypieces have been replaced. An open-well open string staircase with stick balusters and a moulded mahogany handrail wreathed over the curtail completes the interior.
