Staplegrove House

Staplegrove House is a house built around 1825. It features roughcast over rubble with a bitumen-covered hipped slate roof, overhanging eaves, and a roughcast stack rising from the eaves on the right side. The building has a double pile plan and is two storeys high with three bays. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows with louvred shutters, while the ground floor has semi-circular headed casement windows with multiple panes and decorative glazing in the fanlight, all surrounded by moulded surrounds. The central entrance is also semi-circular headed, with a fanlight and 20th-century half-glazed double doors. The front is enhanced by a decorative wooden trelliswork verandah with a gabled central bay, featuring West Somerset slates and single bay returns, set on a plinth of blue lias and accessed by two steps. On the right side, there is a single-storey hexagonal bay with a dentil moulded cornice. Although the interior has not been seen, it is known to contain a stick stair with a mahogany handrail. The house was described as 'newly built' in May 1828 and was then known as The Grove.
