Cassantree

This detached house was built in 1832 by S.W. Appleton. It’s constructed of red brick with a pyramidal grey slate roof. The house has two storeys and originally featured three windows, with a square plan and a rear wing. A plain rendered plinth supports two stone steps leading to the front door, which has six raised and fielded panels, the central panels being square. The door is set within a recessed Roman Doric fluted three-quarter column surround, with a gauged-brick round arch above, containing a looped radial-bar fanlight. The windows are twelve-pane recessed sashes with painted stone cills and wedge lintels. An eaves cornice features dentils, and lead rolls extend to the hips of the roof. Square, single-storey hipped bay windows were likely added to the end walls. A round-arched stair window and a datestone inscribed "SWA 1832" can be found at the rear. The staircase has stick balusters and a curtail step. Interior features include six-panel doors, plaster cornices, and light mouldings to the ceilings. An inner doorway was added to the hall in 1897 and includes a purpose-made stained-glass screen.
