Sorbrose House

Sorbrose House is a farmhouse dating to around 1700. It is constructed of brick on a stone plinth, with a slate roof to the front and stone slates to the rear. The roof features a chimney stack on the ridge and another at the left gable. The building is arranged with a baffle-entry plan and has three bays. The brickwork is of Flemish bond, with a decorative band of three courses. A two-storey gabled porch protects the front door, which has two bolection-moulded panels, and a window is positioned above it on the first floor. Most windows are modern top-hung casements, set within square openings with gauged brick heads and concrete sills. Two attic windows are visible in the left gable, while the right gable features a 19th-century belfry opening to the attic space. The rear wall has a variety of windows, some with segmental heads. A former single-storey dairy at the right end has been converted into a garage. Inside, a notable contemporary staircase contains turned balusters and a moulded handrail, rising the full height of the second bay. Contemporary doors with bolection-moulded panels are also present. The house has been owned and occupied by descendants of Robert Hubberstey, a yeoman, since the early 18th century.
