Description
This is a villa built in a Cottage Orne style, similar to The Gables and Gable End. It dates to sometime in the 18th century and has been altered significantly over time. The villa is constructed of painted stucco with a steep slate roof and small, whitewashed rendered end stacks. It is two storeys high, with three bays and a central, two-storey projecting gabled porch. The porch has steep bargeboarded gables with finials above the outer windows, which break through the eaves. The centre gable features similar bargeboards and a jettied upper floor supported on rounded corbels, topped by a Gothic doorway with a pointed moulded arch, hoodmould and double panelled doors. The side walls have pointed windows with hoodmoulds and coloured-glass margins to the glazing. The ground floor angles are chamfered. A square, small timber oriel is situated on the first floor, resting on a coved stuccoed base and with a moulded cornice. The windows are divided into 1-3-1 lights with pointed top-lights of etched ruby glass. Each side of the first floor has paired casements with marginal glazing bars and four small top lights, mirroring the design of The Gables and Gable End. Two canted bays are on the ground floor, not matching each other; the larger bay to the left has 2-3-2-light mullion and transom glazing with a moulded timber coved cornice. The smaller bay to the right has 1-2-1-light glazing with similar top-lights and cornice.
Historically, ramped rubble walls with arched windows flanked the ground floor, but these were replaced in 1977 with single-storey wings, and subsequently, in 2001, with larger two-storey wings – two bays to the left and three bays to the right. These later wings have roofs of a similar pitch, and the upper windows have gablets. The right wing culminates in a large gable.
The rear elevation has a gabled bay to the left and a three-bay range to the right, both with deep verge overhangs and steep gablets over upper windows. The left gable features a cross-window and hoodmould to the first floor, and a ground floor canted bay with pointed top lights. The range to the right features three gablets over eaves-breaking first-floor windows, as well as ground-floor casement pairs and two doors, all with pointed glazing to the top-lights. A large, late 20th-century timber conservatory is also present.
Inside, the entrance passage leads to a contemporary staircase that curves back towards the entrance, featuring a niche (similar to those found at St Mary's Hill and Heywood Lodge) to the left of a half-glazed door with marginal glazing bars. The staircase has stick balusters and scrolled tread ends. The staircase curves upwards to a landing, which returns over the lower flight and is lit by a circular ceiling light with radiating bars, replacing a lantern previously mentioned in the 1977 list. The ground floor has been altered.
