The Doctor'S House

The Doctor's House is an early to mid-18th century house with later 18th and 19th century additions. Constructed of pinkish-brown brick with red brick quoins, ashlar dressings, and a pantile and Welsh slate roof, it now forms an L-shape, originally having a central hall plan with a late 18th century one-bay extension to the right and a 19th century wing to the left. The house has two storeys and five bays. Quoins mark the ends of the original block. A central entrance has two steps leading to a six-fielded-panel door, topped by an oblong fanlight within a doorcase featuring reeded pilasters, acanthus capitals, and an entablature with a dentil cornice on acanthus consoles. Sixteen-pane sash windows are set in flush wood architraves with cills and rendered wedge lintels throughout. A four-course band runs across the bays 2 to 5 on the first floor. There is also a wooden eaves band. An ashlar kneeler and coping are present on the left gable, while the right extension has a hipped roof. End stacks are visible. The garden front features three early 19th century, sixteen-pane bow windows with cornices on the ground floor. Internally, some windows retain their shutters. The interior was not fully inspected.
