Description
Northen House is a building that serves as both a house and office, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It has been enlarged and altered over time. The structure is made of red and grey brick in Flemish bond, featuring grey headers, and has slate roofs. It has a double-pile plan, is two storeys high, and consists of four bays. The second bay features a round-headed doorway with an open-pedimented Roman Doric doorcase and a fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The windows have raised sills and flat-arched heads made of gauged brick, and they are now top-hung casements with glazing bars. The building has a restored modillioned eaves cornice and gable chimneys. The right-hand gable ends are rendered. The interior has been altered. Northen House forms a group with the attached No. 23 on the left and the Church of St Wilfrid opposite.
