Malden Court

A surprising Gothic villa in the midst of all the Regency splendour of Pittville Lawn, Malden Court was designed by Rowland Paul & Sons and built by Henry Haines in 1838. It has a steeply pitched roof with decoratively carved wooden bargeboards and drip moulds over the windows. To the side of the villa there sham battlements over the bay window and a red-brick garden wall pierced by a lancet arcade.
