Description
This is a house, now divided into two dwellings, dating from the late 17th century, with additions around 1770 and 1830, a porch added around 1900, and later 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of coursed stone and ashlar with ashlar dressings, and has Welsh slate roofs. There are various stone stacks.
The main south front has a four-window early 19th-century wing to the left. An off-centre doorway features a four-panel door within a pointed and chamfered surround, with a Gothic overlight and single lancet side-lights, all beneath a moulded hood. To either side are single, large three-light cross-mullion windows; to the left is a further two-light cross casement. Above are alternating two-light and three-light cross casement windows, with a small lancet window above the right-hand window, set within a gable. To the right is a five-window early 18th-century wing. A central doorway now has a gabled glazed porch added around 1900, and either side are single, three-light 20th-century casement windows set in flush ashlar surrounds. Above are five windows with late 20th-century top-hung casements, also with flush ashlar surrounds.
The south gable wall is now rendered with a pair of windows containing 20th-century casements, and above a Diocletian window, all set within painted ashlar surrounds.
The rear façade has, to the right, a chamfered 17th-century doorway followed by a three-light chamfered mullion window, with a similar window above and a hood mould. The remaining fenestration is irregular, and includes a two-light, three-light, and four-light chamfered mullion windows, various 18th-century sash windows, and a round-headed staircase window with glazing bars. A central section is topped with a blank gable. To the left is a two-storey canted bay window with lintel and cill bands. Beyond it is a tall staircase window with margin-light glazing, and a 20th-century glazed door in a painted surround; above is another top-hung casement.
The interior features many 18th-century panelled doors, an arched staircase archway, an 18th-century staircase with boxed-in balusters and a moulded handrail, and a later 19th-century back stair.
The house was purchased by Mary Bosanquet in 1770, who established an orphanage there, and moved on when she married the Reverend John W Fletcher in 1782. She accommodated John Wesley in 1770 and 1775.
