Description

Preston House is a house that dates from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, designed in an L plan. It has two storeys and an attic. The front facing Oakham Road features, on the left, a small 17th-century section with two vertically aligned stone-mullioned windows. Next is an 18th-century range that includes three casement dormers in the attic and four symmetrically arranged sash windows on the first floor, with the bottom left window flanked by two smaller casements. There is a large 19th-century two-storey tri-partite bay window with six identical sashes. The building has ashlar quoins and stone coping, along with three ashlar stacks: two at the gable ends and one in the center.

The return front facing Preston Main Street is also two storeys high. On the first floor, there is one stone-dressed casement window, while the ground floor features an early 19th-century bow window to the right of an 18th-century classical timber doorcase, which has an entablature and pediment, flanked by two hall lights. There is an ashlar double stack on the gable and a low range to the right with two stone-mullioned windows, along with a brick and render stack.
