Blake House

Blake House is an earlier 19th-century house in Langport. It is built of local lias stone ashlar, with the upper floors colourwashed. The roof is Welsh slate, hidden behind a parapet. The house has brick chimney stacks.

The building is three storeys high and has two bays, with the left-hand bay being slightly narrower and projecting. Features include a plinth, a band course above the ground floor, partial eaves course, a cornice, and a plain parapet. The windows are sash windows in plain openings with flat heads. The ground floor windows have 12 panes. The first floor has a 16-pane sash in the left-hand bay, and a 12-pane sash in an architrave with an apron panel in the right-hand bay. The second floor windows have 9 panes each. A four-panelled door is situated to the left of the lower right-hand bay, under a margined rectangular fanlight set in a semi-circular arched recess. Above the door is a segmental through-arch with impost blocks, and panelled gates.

The interior of the house has not been inspected. Blake House is a good architectural complement to Pottery Plus, which was the old mason's house located immediately to the west.
