Description
This is a large house, now divided into five separate dwellings. It dates primarily to the 18th century, though it has been expanded over time with additions to what was originally a smaller house. The construction is mainly of coursed squared sandstone, with one wing built of handmade brick, all with stone slate roofs. The house has an irregular T-shaped layout. The main part, facing south on an east-west axis, is a symmetrical two-storey block of three bays. It features a central doorway with a moulded architrave and rectangular overlight, sheltered by a semicircular Tuscan porch with a moulded cornice. Above are two 12-pane sash windows on each floor, all with raised, plain surrounds. An additional bay has been added to the left, incorporating a single window on each floor, matching the style of the original. The facade has an embattled parapet, and corniced chimneys rise from the gables of the original house, with a corniced ridge chimney on the addition. Gable copings are present on both gables.
The left gable wall of the main range serves as an entrance front, presented as two-and-a-half storeys and two bays, symmetrically arranged. Features include a plinth, a first-floor band, and a pedimented gable. A central doorway is framed by a shouldered architrave, and there are coupled 12-pane sash windows on each floor, along with a Venetian attic window, all with raised, plain surrounds. A moulded gable coping tops this section. To the left, slightly set back, is a less distinctive service wing, with a Venetian window at first-floor level in its gable wall, also topped with a coping featuring kneelers and finials.
A long south wing, formerly used as stables or a coach house, now also a dwelling, extends at a right angle. It is constructed of coursed sandstone on the west side and handmade brick on the east side, finished with a sandstone parapet. The west side retains two former segmental-headed wagon doorways and has a mono-pitched roof.
