Description
Oak House is a 19th-century villa with a stucco front featuring a plinth, floor band, and a plain cornice band, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building is square in shape, designed around a central spine wall that supports all the chimneys. It has two storeys, with three windows on the entrance side facing Monk Street and four windows on the north side facing Priory Street.
The central projecting porch is supported by two square Tuscan corner columns and two circular unfluted Ionic columns, which hold up a heavy cornice. Behind the porch, square pilasters frame a recessed round-headed doorway that has panelled reveals, a tear-drop fanlight, and a panelled door. This doorway is flanked by tripartite 6 over 6 pane sash windows, which have architraves with bracketed cills and heads. Above the doorway, there are three additional 6 over 6 pane sash windows with architrave surrounds and bracketed cills. The hipped slate roof features stacks at both ends of the ridge.
On the right side of the building, there are four 6 over 6 pane sash windows on each floor, with the ground floor windows having bracketed hoods. The rear elevation includes an arched stair window and connects to a late 20th-century block. The interior details were not available during the resurvey.
