Description
House, originally dating from the early 18th century, largely rebuilt around 1780. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with purple brick headers on a buff sandstone plinth from an earlier building. It has a Kerridge stone-slate roof, a stone ridge, and three brick chimneys. The three-bay front is three stories high. A fluted stone frieze sits below a projecting cornice. The central bay is slightly forward, featuring 12-pane sash windows with segmental brick heads. The top storey features a single 6-pane sash window. The left and right end bays are similar, each with pairs of 12-pane sashes under broad segmental brick heads and a pair of 6-pane sashes in the top storey. A modern glass and brick porch now obscures the doorway on the right end bay. The doorway is framed by a broad, elliptical gauged and rubbed brick head with a fanlight featuring diamond-shaped tracery. The door itself has eight lozenge-shaped moulded panels and is flanked by engaged Ionic columns. The rear wall is constructed of sandstone rubble and shows traces of earlier 18th-century windows.
Inside, features include moulded elliptical openings, fluted surrounds with rosettes at the corners to six-panel doors, and a Georgian spiral staircase with square balusters, an open string, and carved acorns.
The house was formerly the home of the Antrobuses, who owned a silk mill nearby and later Lowerhouse Mill. These properties were sold to Samuel Greg jnr. A single-storey extension to the left, dating from the 20th century, is not considered to be of architectural or historic interest.
