Martyr Worthy Place

House enlarged over time into a small country house, dating to the early 18th century, with further additions in the early 19th century and around 1911. The construction is primarily brick, with the front of the oldest section stuccoed, and with old plain tile roofs. It comprises a three-bay, two-span 18th-century house to which a wing was added to the left rear in the 19th century. Around 1911, the house was further enlarged, with a service wing added to the far left and the rear span of the original building rebuilt, featuring a new entrance front designed in a Queen Anne style along the rear.

The south-facing garden front includes on the right a three-bay, two-storey 18th-century building. To the left of this, set back a bay, is a two-storey, three-bay 19th-century section. To the far left is a 20th-century, two-storey, three-bay service wing. The 18th-century section has a central doorway; this is now French windows with an early 20th-century doorcase, featuring Doric pillars supporting an entablature with a keystone in the frieze. Each side has a flat-roofed, canted bay with a 12-pane sash window in front. The stuccoed front has rusticated quoins and a string course at cornice level to the ground floor openings. There are four small, flush-framed 16-pane sash windows on the first floor, with a modillioned eaves cornice. Rendered symmetrical stacks are present. The 19th-century section has three French windows and 12-pane sash windows above, all with rubbed brickheads, wide boxed eaves, and symmetrical stacks. The 20th-century section features wide three and four-light casement windows, with a door to the right of centre, all with rubbed brickheads. Above are larger two and three-light casement windows. A flat lead roof with wide boxed eaves extends to the right, a hipped roof to the left, and between them is a thin, long stack. This group value context recognizes the building’s architectural and historic significance.
