Description
Hapsford House is a country house dating from the early 19th century. It is built of rendered and scribed stone, with rusticated ashlar quoins, and has hipped slate roofs with wide eaves and four ashlar stacks, one with paired hexagonal caps. The garden frontage is designed in a Gothic style with an irregular arrangement of two, one, and two bays; the side bays are two-storey, while the central section is single-storey. The windows are 16-pane sash windows with Gothick heads, set within chamfered stone surrounds with stopped labels. The glazing bars have been removed from the ground-floor windows of the right bays. A flat-roofed, single-storey, semi-circular ashlar bow is located on the ground floor of the left wing, and there are three pairs of French windows with horizontal glazing bars above a traceried parapet. The central section also features a single-storey section with a canted bay under a hipped roof, featuring a pair of French windows with horizontal glazing bars and marginal lights to each face. Two door openings flank the right bays, each with three-quarter glazed doors that have Gothicised glazing bars and scrolled block pediments. A glazed verandah supported by cast iron is positioned across the front. A single-storey conservatory with a leaded roof, built in the same Gothic style, extends from the right side. The interior is decorated in a similar elaborate Gothic style; two rooms on the ground floor have ribbed and vaulted plaster ceilings.
