Farmhouse/inn, now farmhouse. 1849 for Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company. Brick with Welsh slate roof. T-shaped on plan: 2-room central entrance-hall front with double-depth wing and contemporary outshut to rear. 2 storeys, 4 first-floor windows. Plinth. Projecting enclosed gabled porch to right of centre has chamfered 4-centred arch with half-glazed door and plain overlight in reveal, ornate fretwork bargeboards with drop finial, fish-scale slates; 2-fold half-glazed inner door in roll-moulded architrave. Single wooden cross-mullioned windows to either side have sashes with glazing bars, cavetto mullions and roll-moulded architraves, rubbed-brick flat arches and stone sills. First floor: smaller similar window to right, 2 to left, narrow single-light window above porch. Overhanging eaves. Ornate bargeboards with finials. Partly-projecting end stack to right with brick band and twin diamond-shafted corniced chimneys. Similar stacks to rear with 2 and 3 shafts. Left return has ground-floor bay window with 3 mullion and transom lights to front, single lights to sides. 9-pane and 12-pane sashes in flush wooden architraves to rear wing. Interior retains original staircase, chimneypieces etc. Similarities with Nelthorpe Estate buildings suggest that this farmhouse/inn (formerly known as The Queens Arms) was built by The Railway Company in arrangement with the Estate. Adjoining outbuildings to rear are of no special interest. Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury, 27 July 1848 p2.
