Ensor House

Ensor House is a house that has been converted into a warehouse. It has origins dating back to the 18th century and was modified in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with Ham stone dressings, and features a plain clay tile roof with bonnetted hips and brick chimney stacks.

The structure stands three storeys high and consists of four bays. It has a stone plinth and pilasters at the corners topped with Doric style heads and bases, along with a dentilled brick cornice. The sash windows are set within Gibbsian rusticated architraves that include triple keystones, with 12-pane windows on the first floor and 9-pane windows on the second floor. The ground floor was adapted around 1900, originally featuring a shopfront under a fascia, but is now bricked up with four steel casement windows inserted in bays one to three. Bay four has an elliptical arched doorway with impost blocks and a single keystone leading to unmoulded arch, which is fitted with boarded doors.

The interior has not been seen, and the building appears to have been disused since October 1984. Stylistically, the building may have been designed by Nathaniel Ireson, as the Hoare family of Stourhead, who were Lords of the Manor, employed Ireson for other works.
