Description
The Bolling, with garden wall to the left, is a house dating from the early 18th century, although the lower storey of the front was likely altered in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brown brick in an irregular Flemish bond and features a grey slate roof. The building has two storeys, plus a cellar and attic with dormers, and includes four windows. A plain three-course band runs along the first floor, with a corbelled band at the end gables of the attic floor and a modillion cornice at the front. The mansard roof has brick-coped verges and two projecting chimneys on each gable.
The lower storey has three flush 16-pane sashes typical of the early 19th century, while the upper storey features four 12-pane flush sashes. There are three gabled dormers in the attic with replaced casements. The right end has an early 20th-century door in a round-arched opening with a plain fanlight. The left end has a 12-pane flush sash. At the rear, there is a gable to the left with leaded casements of two lights and a fanlight in shouldered round-headed openings. A central recessed stair bay is present, along with a two-storey canted bay window dressed in stone from the 19th century on the right. Most of the lower window in the left and the windows in the central bays have been renewed, but they remain in unaltered openings with gauged-brick flat arches.
Inside, the cellars contain wine racks, and there is a good early 18th-century oak stair that is doglegged to the upper storey, followed by one flight to the attic. This stair features plain square newels, a moulded handrail, and two barley-sugar balusters per step. The doors are six-panel, raised and fielded on both sides, and there are simple 18th-century plaster cornices. The front part of the lower storey has been altered, likely in the 20th century.
