Raby House

Raby House is a late 18th-century house located in Chapel Row, Sadberge. The front is constructed of brick in a Flemish bond pattern, while the rear is brick in an English garden wall bond. The roof is covered in pantiles and features old brick chimney stacks. Originally, the house was likely three bays wide, with a possible two-stage build evidenced by a staggered straight joint to the right of the front door. The central entrance has a six-panel door and fanlight, now set within a later wooden surround. Around 1820, bow windows were added to the flanking bays, incorporated into enlarged openings. These feature 20-pane sashes, with engaged colonnettes, panelled stone aprons and sills, and a wooden frieze and cornice. Above the bow windows, 16-pane sashes have projecting stone sills, although the lower light of the central window has lost its bars. The eaves are cogged, and the steeply-pitched roof has raised verges. Two low raking dormers are present, each with a horizontally-sliding 10-pane sash. Brick stacks are located at the ends of the house. A round-arched stair window with 12 panes is found on the rear elevation. A linking section and outbuilding at the rear are not considered to be of architectural significance.
