Description
Montgomery House is a house dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with some 19th-century alterations. It features a timber frame with lath and plaster infill, as well as brick infill, and is constructed of red brick with plain tile roofs and brick gable stacks. The building has two storeys, with the lower part to the west originally being a three or four bay 16th-century box framed hall house that has a stone plinth. To the right is an early 17th-century range that includes a close studded timber framed cross wing with a stone plinth. The central part was rebuilt in brick during the 19th century.
The south elevation is irregular with six bays. The gabled cross wing on the right displays an exposed close studded timber frame with lath and plaster infill and diagonal braces above a brick ground floor. It has a three-light 20th-century casement window on both the ground and first floors, along with a similar two-light window in the gable. The 19th-century brick range to the left features a tripartite window/door with margin lights and a doorway with a moulded wood surround that is dated 1608. Above this, there are two glazing bar sashes with wedge lintels and a smaller sash also with a wedge lintel, as well as a dentil eaves cornice. The lower part to the left shows exposed box framing with diagonal braces. There are four 20th-century two-light casement windows and two gabled dormers above. The cross wing has exposed framing on the upper floor on all sides, and to the north, there is a 17th-century four-light wooden ovolo moulded mullion window.
Inside, the house features a broad dogleg staircase with stud partitions instead of banisters and large turned balusters at the attic level. The upper rooms include early 17th-century staggered panelling and an elaborate early 17th-century chimneypiece in one of the rooms.
