This house was erected by Richard Devon in 1721 and the rainwater head had "R
Devon 1721" on it. But it is called after Frances Maseres, Cursitor Baron of
the Exchequer, who lived there from 1774-1824. He was an eccentric character
who was born during the reign of George II and who continued to the end of his
life to wear the costume of that period. It was later used as a dower house by
the Somers family when they owned Reigate Priory. Lady Henry Somerset lived here
after she had made the Priory over to her son until her death in 1921. 2 storeys
and attic. Original portion 5 windows, 3 dormers. Red Brick. Cornice and panelled
parapet. Hipped tiled roof. The centre window bay projects slightly. Windows
in moulded architrave surrounds are sashes with glazing bars. Gauged flat brick
arches above and aprons below. Door of 6 fielded panels, with patterned fanlight,
in Ionic doorcase with modillioned cornice and pediment. Good wrought iron area
railings. To the east is a recessed portion of 3 windows probably added in the
late C19, though it has the rainwater head with 1721 on it. To the east of this
is a still further recessed modern addition of 2 windows.
