Description

Kenilworth is a later 19th century villa, built after 1865, featuring two stories and a rectangular plan with a gabled roof and a jamb at the rear. The exterior is constructed from whinstone and sandstone rubble with harl pointing, accented by rusticated sandstone margins and dressings, and bull-faced rusticated quoins with chamfered arrises. It has a base course, advanced eaves, and exposed rafters.

On the southwest (main) elevation, there is an advanced gable on the outer left, which includes a full-height canted window with a moulded dividing cornice and a half-conical slate roof. A gabled lean-to porch faces southeast in the re-entrant angle, featuring advanced eaves and a finial. To the outer right, there is a block with a gable that breaks the eaves, a tripartite window at ground level, and a round-headed window in the gablehead.

The northeast (rear) elevation is L-shaped, with a gabled jamb to the outer right that has a single-storey lean-to block at ground level, as well as another single-storey lean-to block at the re-entrant angle.

The main elevation features plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the rear has an 8-pane sash and case window. The roof is covered with grey slate, equipped with lead flashings and rooflights, and has corniced ashlar ridge stacks with octagonal cans.

The interior was not seen in 1993.

Additionally, there is a coach house, which is a gabled, rectangular-plan outbuilding made of rubble, featuring a boarded hay-loft door and a boarded coach door.

The boundary wall is made of whinstone with harl pointing and has whinstone boulder coping. The gatepiers are stucco with stop-chamfered arrises and pyramidal caps.
