Description
House. Built in the early 18th century, with additions in the early 20th century. It is constructed of red brick with plain tile hipped roofs and four brick stacks. The building has brick bands on the first and second floors, and a white painted dentilled eaves cornice. The house follows an H-plan, with an early 20th-century wing added to the north.
The west elevation has four bays. The three right-hand bays were originally symmetrical, with the outer bays projecting. The recessed central bay now features a projecting early 20th-century brick porch with a plain stone entablature and dentilled pediment. It has a keyed round-arched doorway flanked by pilasters, a plank door, and a glazed overlight. Top-hung casement windows with leaded lights flank the door. Above, there is a three-light wooden casement window with a transom; it has a gauged brick lintel with a keyblock. The left-hand bay has similar three-light windows to the ground and first floors, while the right-hand bay has a similar window to the first floor. The ground-floor window in the left-hand bay has been replaced by an early 20th-century canted bay. Two hipped-roof dormers are on the projecting bays. The left-hand wing has a projecting flat-roofed ground-floor bay with an early 18th-century style cross window, and a similar two-light window above, with a roof dormer.
The garden elevation features similar three- and four-light windows with transoms. The left-hand bay on the ground floor has an early 20th-century bow window. Attached to the northeast corner is an early 18th-century outbuilding, said to have been an oast house. It has a pitched roof with one brick gable stack, brick bands, and a dentilled eaves cornice. It has two storeys, with a three-light casement window under a segment head on the west side. There are blind openings and ventilation holes to the north and south.
The interior has an oak-panelled entrance hall and an open-well staircase rising through three storeys. The panelling extends to the first floor. The staircase has a closed string, turned balusters, and a ramped handrail, with C17-style panelling. The entrance hall has a stone flag floor, and raised and fielded panel doors. A curved C17 overmantel, possibly German, is present, along with a Flemish-style chimneypiece in the sitting room and a neo-Jacobean chimneypiece incorporating genuine fragments in the dining room. A back staircase from the early 18th century features turned balusters.
