Description
Seafield is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with an addition at the north end built in the 19th century. The main part of the house is constructed of brick and has a rendered front designed to resemble ashlar masonry. The north end extension is of tooled-and-margined stone with a rendered first floor. The dressings are cut stone. The roof is covered with pantiles.
The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay front. It features rusticated quoins and a chamfered plinth. A late 20th-century door is centrally located, and the windows are four-pane sashes. All the openings are framed by architraves, and the windows have projecting moulded sills. Coped gables sit atop moulded kneelers, and the end stacks have been rebuilt.
A 19th-century bay is set back on the right-hand side, with boarded double doors within a segmental arch. A band above the doors serves as the sill for a 12-pane sash window. A coped gable with an end stack is at the right end of this bay. The rear elevation displays several plain sashes set within raised and tooled stone surrounds.
Inside, the doors consist of six fielded panels. The restored open-well staircase has urn-on-vase balusters (two per tread), moulded newels, a moulded ramped and wreathed handrail, shaped tread ends, and a curtail step. A bedroom fireplace has a shaped moulded wooden surround, old tiles, and a grate.
