Description

Prospect House is a late 18th-century building located on the west side of High Street in Great Missenden. It features red and grey brick with red dressings and quoins, and has a hipped slate roof topped with a moulded wooden cornice. The house is two storeys tall and has three double-hung sash windows set in flush moulded wood frames, each with cut brick flat arches and wooden cills. The entrance boasts a well-crafted doorway that includes brackets supporting a dentil cornice and an open pediment, a six-panel door, and a semi-circular wheel fanlight set in an archivolt with impost bands. The side walls are made of flint rubble, accented with red brick dressings.
