Description

Mere House is a two-storey building with a three-bay symmetrical façade, inspired by the neo-classical villa designs of Robert Taylor and other contemporary architects. It features a hipped slate roof with red brick chimneys on either side and wide painted eaves adorned with dentils. The walls are made of white painted brick.

The central part of the house has a splayed bay, with a portion of the first-floor string-course extending back from a modern open pedimented porch made of Haddonstone. Above the four-panel door, there is an original Gothic traceried fanlight. The windows consist of two and four-light sashes, with metal shutter boxes above the ground-floor openings. On the right end wall facing the driveway to the east, there is a shallow late Georgian two-storey bow.

To the left of the main façade, there is a lower two-storey extension with one window, which is dated 1819 in the brickwork towards the rear. This extension has a spayed bay and once concealed a shallow bow similar to the east side. It features painted brickwork and four-light sash windows. There are also modern extensions in white painted brick on the east side and rear of the building. The property was not inspected at the time of the survey.
