Description
A house, dating to around 1775, with alterations from the 19th century, built for John Rawlinson. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar with ashlar dressings and chamfered quoins. The roof is slate-covered, with gable stacks to the left and right. The house is two storeys with an attic and a basement, and originally comprised 5 bays, topped by an eaves cornice with a balustrade, with a three-bay centrepiece culminating in a pediment. This pediment contains a Diocletian window with a moulded architrave. The windows, apart from the Diocletian window, all have moulded architraves and sash windows with glazing bars; the ground floor windows have 4 panes, and those on the first floor have 12. The doorway features engaged Tuscan columns and an open pediment containing a semi-elliptical fanlight with intersecting Gothic glazing bars. The original door, accessed by two steps with nosings, has raised and fielded panels, arranged in a diamond pattern below the lock rail. Cast-iron railings with urn finials on the standards are attached to the property on either side. Inside, a dogleg open-string staircase features carved brackets, stick balusters, and a ramped handrail. The archway to the entrance hall is elliptical, with fluted pilasters and scrolled decoration in the spandrels, while the first-floor archway has trefoil pilasters.
