Description
Seymour House is an early 18th-century building located on the north-west side of the High Street. Constructed of coursed and dressed rubble, the right-hand section features thin sill and transom courses, reminiscent of the adjacent Malt House. The building has a Welsh slate roof with corniced ashlar chimneys at the centre and right. It is two storeys tall with attics, and incorporates hipped dormers. The windows are arranged in three on one side and four on the other, with 12-pane glazing bars set in beaded surrounds and bull-nose cills. A moulded coved eaves cornice runs along the top, with a continuous moulding above the ground-floor windows. A more recent early 19th-century portico with fluted columns and a fanlight adorns the main entrance, which features a six-panel door to the left. A Tudor-arched doorway leads to a through passage on the rear. There is a four-bay, two-storey extension to the south-west, and an earlier, long extension to the north-east. Inside, a late 17th-century staircase with heavy turned balusters is present, along with a fireplace dating to the 1770s on the ground floor to the north.
