Description
Birchfield House is one of a pair of later Georgian houses. It occupies the upper right-hand end bay of a four-bay road frontage, with its main elevation facing at right angles and overlooking a garden to the side. The walls are finished in stucco, and it has a shallow pitched machine-tile roof. The house has three storeys. The single window range on the road frontage features a two-storey segmental bow window with sashes, while the upper storey window was enlarged in the 20th century. The garden elevation to the side has a three-window range of sashes, a deep moulded and swept plinth, and a central doorway with a fluted architrave and console brackets supporting a semicircular hood. The house is believed to retain Regency fittings.
