Richmond House

Richmond House is a house dated 1750, with earlier origins, located on Watling Street in Towcester. It is built of painted brick and features 20th-century plain-tile roofs and brick end stacks. The house has a two-unit plan, is two storeys tall with an attic, and has a three-window range. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door set in a pegged wood surround, topped with a brick lintel and a straight hood supported by brackets.

The ground and first floors have 19th-century sash windows; the ground floor windows have gauged brick lintels and keyblocks, while the first-floor windows have brick lintels, with the central first-floor window being blank. The exterior includes a plinth, a storey band, brick modillion eaves, and moulded tile-coping at the gables. There are two hipped roof dormers and a blocked door to the right with a round-arched head, imposts, and a keyblock.

To the left, there is a single-storey wing featuring a tripartite sash window and corbelled brick eaves. A two-storey wing at the rear left is constructed of coursed and uncoursed limestone rubble, which may date back to the late 17th century. Inside, the house has ogee-stop-chamfered spine beams and a large open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer in the back wing, along with a fitted cupboard that has shaped shelves.
