Heckley House

Heckley House is a late 18th-century house with a 19th-century rear wing, situated in Denwick. The original house was built in an L-shape and later had an infill added to the rear. The front facade is of tooled and margined stone, with returns of tooled stone, and has a Welsh slate roof.

The south elevation is symmetrical with five bays, standing two stories above a basement. The basement forms a plinth, above which are a first-floor sill band and a moulded eaves cornice. A set of six steps leads to a centrally positioned, renewed flush-panelled front door, flanked by columns supporting an open-pedimented hood. Four-pane sash windows are present throughout; the small basement windows are mostly blocked. The roof is hipped and features two stepped and corniced ridge stacks.

The left return has three bays; the left bay showcases tripartite sash windows (the lower section renewed), while the right bays feature windows designed to imitate the appearance of tripartite sashes. Low openings are visible in the basement. The right return’s left bay contains blind windows, and a 19th-century wing is attached to the right.
