Description
Sales House is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is built of English garden wall bond brick and features a graduated stone slate and slate roof. The building has a T-shaped plan with a total of four bays and two storeys. The gabled crosswing projects from the first bay. There are two doors in the structure, one of which is blocked, located in the third bay. The remaining bays have three window openings on each floor, with casements removed, and a four-light casement window in the first floor of bay one, which is set beneath two elliptical arches with brick hoodmoulds. An attic light is present in the gable. The paired elliptical-arched windows are also found on the left and right returns, with the right return being blocked. The building has chimney stacks on the left and at the ridge. The rear features various two and three-light casements, some of which are located beneath segmental brick arches. Adjacent to the crosswing is an original boarded door with strap hinges, and the crosswing itself has a stair window with a brick hoodmould and a two-light double-chamfered attic light with a brick mullion. Inside, the house has chamfered beams with stepped stops, a dogleg staircase with turned balusters, a closed string, and a moulded rail.
