Cygnet House

Cygnet House is a house built in the early 19th century, attached to an early to mid-18th century rear range, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The house is constructed from hand-made brick and features clay pantile roofs. It has a reverse S-plan layout, with a front range facing southeast onto Church Lane and a rear wing extending to the northwest, which has its own southwest extension.

The exterior, facing southeast, consists of a two-storey, three-bay front wall that is asymmetrical, with wider bays on the left. The brickwork is in Flemish Garden Wall bond. The entrance, located on the right, is framed by a squared stone surround with chamfered jambs and a prominent moulded cornice. It features a recessed four-panelled door with a plain fanlight above. To the left of the entrance are two windows, with three more stacked above the ground-floor openings. All windows are vertical sashes with moulded cases, horns, and no glazing bars, topped with stone wedge lintels and projecting sills.

The southwest gable has an outer skin of reclaimed historic bricks and is obscured at the ground floor by an attached range, with a blind upper section featuring a corbelled ridge chimney stack. The northeast gable is also blind and rendered, with a corner buttress and a step below the eaves indicating that another building was once attached here. A painted terracotta plaque with decorative tracery inscribed "COMMUNITY - EDUCATION" is located at the first floor. The front pitch of the roof has a coped gable with a kneeler, while the rear pitch is uncoped and slopes down to lower rear eaves.

Set back on the right, the northeast wall of the rear range has a pair of four-pane sash windows on each floor, along with a modern part-glazed panelled door and a rectangular fanlight to the right, all beneath segmental, rubbed-brick lintels. A duo-pitched roof connects the rear roof of the front range to this gabled range, which features a ridge stack slightly off-center and sprocketed eaves. The rear wall is stepped and includes a mix of vertically and horizontally-sliding sash windows, along with catslide roofs. The southwest elevation is obscured.
