Description
Bubblewell House is a detached house that dates from the late 17th century, with early and late 18th-century additions. It is constructed of random and coursed rubble limestone, with brick rebuilt chimneys and a roof made of Welsh slate and corrugated iron. The house is two storeys high with an attic, and an upper floor was added to the north end. The east side features a two-storey addition, creating an L-shape.
On the west front, the original house is to the right, featuring a 2-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement window and an original doorway to the left. There is a later inserted central doorway with a 6-panel door below a 2-light casement window on the upper floor. The later addition to the left has a 3-light window on the ground floor, a 2-light window on the middle floor, and a later top floor with a timber casement and a low-pitched corrugated iron roof.
The south end of the building has a gable end with a single-window arrangement, featuring a 3-light window on both the ground and upper floors, and a 2-light window in the attic. To the right is a late 18th-century or early 19th-century addition with timber casements and lintels, as well as a glazed conservatory porch. There is a top floor-level plank door at the north end, built against a high-level road. The interior has not been inspected.
