Description
Duffieldbank House is a house built in the mid-18th century, with early 19th-century and mid-19th-century alterations. It is constructed of red brick with sandstone dressings and quoins, topped with a hipped Welsh slate roof. The gables are stone-coped with plain kneelers, and there are brick stacks at the gables and ridge. The house has three storeys and features a west elevation with three plus two bays. The three bays on the right have angle quoins and an advanced centre bay.
On the ground floor, there is a projecting 19th-century bay with a flat roof, extending one bay to the left of the main block. To the right, a doorway has a moulded stone surround and a raised and fielded panelled door. To the left of the door is a tripartite window, followed by a single window, both with moulded surrounds. Next to the porch bay is a segment-headed window in a moulded stone surround, featuring a single bar sash. Above, there are three glazing bar sashes in segment-headed moulded stone surrounds, with three smaller similar windows above. The left bay is set back and includes a glazing bar sash under a wedge stone lintel with a stepped keystone, and another similar window above with a three bay sash. The broad bay to the left is also set back, featuring segment-headed windows on each floor with single bar sashes under segment-headed wedge lintels, except for the top floor which has a plain lintel. Most windows have 19th-century louvred shutters. There is a canted bay on the south side.
Inside, the house features an open string staircase with two knopped turned balusters per tread and a wreathed and ramped handrail. There is also a back staircase with stick balusters.
