Building record 1396800000 - Ballams, Middle Claydon

Ballams is a substantial 19th century red brick property situated back from the north-west side of the street behind a low boundary hedge. It is two and a half storeys in height and symmetrical in appearance, with two gable wings with decorative bargeboards and a striking, centrally positioned, partly-glazed porch. The property faces directly onto the street and is located opposite the opening onto the parkland of Claydon House. Trees and hedges form the side boundary and backdrop to the building and help to enclose and isolate it from neighbouring properties. Views of Ballams, particularly from Claydon Park to the south-east, make a positive contribution to the character of the Conservation Area. The mature trees to the right side of the entrance also provide an important focus to views from all directions. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Middle Claydon. (B1).
