Description

This is a house, dating to 1873, incorporating fabric from the 17th century. It is constructed of pebbledashed brick with sandstone dressings, covered by a slate roof. The building has an irregular plan and two stories with attics. The windows are characterized by an inner hollow chamfer and outer rebate, with hood moulds. Some window dressings are likely from the 17th century.

The south front has a one-bay outshut on the left-hand side featuring 3-light windows. To the right of the outshut is a bay with mullioned and transomed windows: 12 lights on the ground floor and 8 on the first floor. Above this is a 2-light attic dormer. A gabled porch stands to the right of this bay, now lacking a doorway, with two 2-light windows. A plaque inscribed 'RFA GOD'S PROVIDENCE 1656' is located above the left-hand window of the porch. To the right of the porch, the facade continues, belonging to a narrower wing without an attic storey. A one-light window sits above the porch outshut, and to its right is a bay with mullioned and transomed windows of 8 lights on the ground floor and 6 on the first floor.

The west gable has a bay to the left of a single-storey porch, with mullioned and transomed windows of 12 lights on the ground floor and 10 above. A similar stair window of 6 lights sits above the porch, with a 2-light chamfered mullioned window above that. A window with two cusped ogee lights is set within the south porch wall. The doorway is moulded with a Tudor-arched head. A projecting stack with offsets and a brick cap is located to the right of the porch; other chimneys have similar caps. Subsidiary wings extend to the north side.

Inside, a room to the west of the porch on the south front has two axial beams, each with ovolo mouldings and a roll attached to the soffit, and with painted inscriptions. A room to the north of the porch on the west gable features a moulded Tudor arch framing an inglenook with a stone fireplace; both are 19th century. Other rooms were not examined.
