Lions House, Bridgwater, Grade I listed house on West Quay in Bridgwater, England.
Lions House features a two-story structure with five bays and single-story wings, constructed using alternating red and yellow Flemish-bond bricks.
Benjamin Holloway, who worked for the Duke of Chandos, built this residence around 1727 and incorporated elements of Baroque architectural design.
The building received its Grade I listing status on March 24, 1950, recognizing its exceptional architectural importance in British heritage.
The property now functions as a mixed-use building, accommodating both a dental practice and professional services within its historical walls.
Low paneled gate piers from the twentieth century support decorative Chinese-style lion statues at the entrance of the property.
