| Description | A listed, Grade II* apse, constructed as part of the design of Heathcote House (PRN 9765), a 3 storey, Grade II* Listed, Classical villa built in 1906 8 by E. Lutyens for Ernest Hemingway, a Bradford merchant. The apse is built with moulded stone in a coursed rubble framework (with tiled gable above), and features flanking detached columns. This is one of a matching pair (the other is located in the same position to the west of the main house – PRN 9771), which helps to close the vista along the terrace of the house.
There are a number of other contemporary buildings and architectural features associated with Heathcote House which are also Listed Grade II*. These include the courtyard and entrance walls to the north of the house, a pair of cottages, outbuildings, and a terrace (with steps and fountains) (see PRNs 9766 – 9769, 9772 and 9773 for further details).
