Description
Acacia House is a house dating to around 1830. It is stuccoed with Ham Hill stone dressings and pilasters on the garden front (east), while the street front (north) is rendered. The roof is of double pitch slate, with rendered stacks to four gable ends. It is two storeys high, with a symmetrical three-window arrangement to the garden front. The former doorway is blocked and replaced by a round-arched sash window with six-over-six panes and interlaced Gothic-style glazing bars, flanked by eight-over-eight-pane sashes on both floors. The street front, along with a gabled return, incorporates a central six-panel door, glazed above, with raised-and-fielded panels to the centre and beaded panels to the base, set in a moulded architrave and topped with a pediment supported by heavy consoles. Above this door is an eight-over-eight-pane sash with interlaced glazing bars. The rear, facing west, includes a late 19th-century two/two-pane sash window with coloured and decorative glass on the first floor, and a porch with margin-pane glazing on the ground floor to the right. The interior retains features from 1830, including elliptical arches in the main room to the left of the garden front, and a Ham Hill stone fireplace.
