Number 6 And Folly Adjoining To Left

Number 6 and the adjoining folly are a house with a former coach house and outhouse, built in 1828, with earlier origins and designed by William Fowler of Winterton. The house has undergone alterations in the early 20th century, including the addition of a first-floor extension to the left. The main part of the house is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with brick dressings to the ground floor and brick to the first floor and stacks; the original section on the right is stuccoed. The folly is built of coursed limestone rubble and brick, incorporating reused medieval ashlar dressings in a Gothic style. The house is divided into three sections. The original house on the right has a symmetrical three-bay front with a projecting porch that has a 20th-century part-glazed door in a chamfered surround with a hoodmould, moulded cornice, and flat hood. The windows are 2-light casements with chamfered surrounds, cills, and hoodmoulds; a boldly-moulded band runs along the first floor. Above the entrance is a large, painted carved bust. A deep eaves cornice runs along the top. To the left of the original house is a former coach house section with a 4-light window with a rubbed brick arch and cill. A section set back to the left has a 6-panelled door, a single-light window with a chamfered surround and hoodmould, and a dormer window. The two-storey section has a hipped roof with two axial stacks, while the lower section has a pitched roof with an end stack. The adjoining folly is a single-storey structure with two windows. A central pointed, chamfered ashlar arch, flanked by chamfered single-light ashlar windows, serves as the entrance; the window on the left is glazed and sits below a section of brick walling, while the window on the right is set in a broken wall. A buttress on the right side has a niche containing fragments of statuary. A brick outhouse is located inside the folly to the left. The drawing room on the ground floor left features a moulded ceiling cornice. William Fowler, the architect, builder, and engraver, lived here in his later years.
