Richmond House And Attached Chapel, Walls And Railings

Richmond House, along with its attached chapel, walls, and railings, is a house dating from the early 19th century. It features painted roughcast, likely over limestone rubble, and has a slate roof with stepped stone coping on a brick stack at the right gable end, as well as a ridge stack inside the left range. The building has a double-depth plan and a symmetrical central staircase layout, with a three-window range to the right. It stands two storeys high with a four-window range. The entrance consists of a six-panel door situated between canted bays, which have margin pane glazing, and the first floor features 8/8-pane sash windows. The left bay has a 6/6-pane sash window on the ground floor and an enlarged early 20th-century three-light casement above.

Inside, there is a close open-well open-storey staircase with a swept pine handrail and stick balusters, along with late 19th-century four-panel doors. The property also includes subsidiary features such as spearheaded railings with a working gate, a low brick wall with rounded brick capping at the front, and a high rubblestone wall at the rear left return that has a gate leading to a small chapel in the garden.

The chapel, also from the early 19th century, has had its windows enlarged in the late 19th century, featuring 2/2-pane sashes with margin panes and a pointed arch window at the south end. The interior of the chapel is entirely lined with horizontal tongued-and-grooved boarding. It is currently used as a games room and garage, with a 20th-century garage door on the left.
