SX4955 LIPSON ROAD, Lipson Vale 740-1/44/324 (North East side) 28/06/89 Mount Lipson Cottage

II

Detached house. 1834-35. Incised stucco on probable rubble; dry slate roofs with projecting eaves and verges and with later C19 red clay crested ridge tiles and shaped finials; roof hipped to central cross wing and polygonal at the front; 2 stuccoed stacks with yellow clay louvred pots over cross walls. PLAN: Italianate villa with cruciform plan, the stair hall to the rear of the cross wing and there is an outshut to rear left, probably there was originally an outshut to rear of the right-hand side as shown on 1853 OS map. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; symmetrical 1:3:1-window N front, the projecting centre canted and taller with round-arched 1st-floor windows; wings at left and right with ground-floor windows only; mid C19 tall hornless sashes with glazing bars, the round-arched windows with spoked fanlight heads. Right-hand return has central 1st-floor sash rising into gable and doorway on the right with moulded hood on consoles and panelled door. Guardian fire insurance plaque above doorway. Rear has old sashes. INTERIOR: not inspected but former list description notes survival of most of the original features including moulded plaster ceiling cornices, panelled doors and old staircase, possibly original. HISTORY: Mount Lipson Cottage was built as a dower house to the now demolished Mount Lipson, the seat of the Govett family (Pevsner). An 1847 drawing of the house shows it as it is today but the centre windows of the canted bay are blind and the 1st-floor windows appear to have Gothic tracery.
