Pedwell Villa

Pedwell Villa is a house dating from the mid-18th century, constructed from coursed and squared rubble with rendered corner pilasters. It features a first-floor band and a hipped slate roof with wide eaves and brick stacks. The villa has a symmetrical frontage and is two storeys high with three bays. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows set in dressed stone architraves, except for the central windows, which have 13 panes and a semi-circular head in a plain surround. The ground floor includes two keyed Venetian windows in plain surrounds, arranged as 4:16:4 panes.

The central entrance has a semi-circular head door opening, topped with an open triangular pediment supported by fluted pilasters. The door itself is a six-panelled design with a fanlight featuring radiating glazing bars. Inside, there is a geometric staircase with stick balusters and a ramped handrail, along with a stair-light that has stained Gothic glazing. Some six-panelled doors are also present. To the left of the frontage, there is a Flemish bond brick wall that bounds the garden, topped with segmental dressed stone coping that ramps down in five sections. The building is thought to have served as Ashcott Vicarage. An attached Villa Cottage at the rear is not considered of special interest.
