Sedgefield House

Sedgefield House is a house from the early 19th century, possibly incorporating older masonry in the cellar, with a rear wing added in the mid-19th century. The building features roughcast exterior, a stone front, and a brick rear wing, all topped with Welsh slate roofs and roughcast stone chimneys. It has an L-shaped plan, with the front block and a wing attached to the rear of the left side.

The two-storey, three-bay front has a low plinth, raised-and-chamfered quoins, and a central four-panel door with an overlight, set in a doorcase that has a hood supported by consoles. The doorway is flanked by segmental bow windows with sashes, panelled aprons, a frieze, and a cornice on consoles. Above, there are three 16-pane sash windows with architraves and projecting sills. The eaves feature a frieze, cornice, and a low parapet. The roof has coped gables and corniced end chimneys.

At the rear, there is a two-storey canted bay window on the left with elongated 8- and 12-pane sashes and patterned blind boxes. To the right, a first-floor stair window has a radial head and architrave. The three-storey, four-bay rear wing has five openings on the ground floor, with 9- and 12-pane sashes in architraves. The right bay projects forward and features raised-and-chamfered quoins and a first-floor canted oriel. The low-pitched roof, hipped to the rear, has two corniced ridge chimneys.

Inside, the cellar is tunnel-vaulted and brick-lined, showcasing exposed masonry with large alternate quoins. A late 19th-century, two-flight dogleg staircase with a landing rail features cast-iron balusters supporting a wreathed grip handrail. There are several notable mid-19th-century cast-iron fireplaces and grates.

An attached cottage on the right side of the main block was rebuilt in the mid-20th century and is not of special interest.
