Description
Alfreton House is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the mid-17th century and has early 19th-century alterations and additions, with restoration around 1980. The building is constructed from coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings and quoins. It features a plain tile roof with stone copings, a large brick ridge stack, and an end stack on the north side. There is also a red brick addition, which has brick stacks and a plain tile roof.
The house is two storeys plus attics and consists of five bays, along with additional structures to the north. An advanced three-storey gabled porch has a quoined, chamfered doorcase and a board door. It includes three nearly full-height glazing bar sash windows with large stone lintels on the north side and a single board door on the south side beneath a flat stone arch. Above the south side, there is a two-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, while to the north of the porch, there are three recessed and chamfered windows, which were originally three-light but now feature 20th-century casements.
The porch itself has a two-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a dripmould, and a similar window is located above it. The northern addition has various 20th-century sash windows below flat arched lintels on the ground floor, and two adjoining recessed and chamfered windows with dripmoulds on the first floor, which were originally three-light but now have 20th-century casements. Above these, there is a central stone sundial, and in the gable, there is another formerly three-light recessed and chamfered window with a dripmould. Inside, the building features 17th-century chamfered ceiling beams, while most of the fittings are from the 19th century.
