Description

London House is a building likely dating from the early 19th century, with a front elevation built onto an earlier structure. It is two storeys high and constructed of painted ashlar rubble, topped with a corniced coping. The roof is of stone tile, hipped in form, with a central rendered chimney. Originally, there were three windows on the first floor, featuring glazing bar sashes within panelled architraves and modest cornices. A decorative band of lozenges runs across the front at a higher level, although it is partially obscured by two mid-to-late 19th-century shop windows. These shop windows feature colonettes and fascia brackets carved with decorative chevrons; the window on the right includes a recessed entrance. The west return front forms a two-and-a-half-storey extension, now partly hidden by buildings dating to circa 1897. This section is built of coursed rubble with drilled ashlar base courses, and features a moulded cornice and parapet. It originally had two windows, separated by a keyed blind porthole window, though there were previously four windows along with a further porthole window. The windows in this section have wide surrounds and cornices; some retain their original glazing bars. A band of lozenges is present at first floor level. A pedimented doorcase is also featured.
