Description
Quorn House is a country house dating to 1820, with subsequent additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick, mostly cement-rendered to the ground floor, with a stone cornice, narrow parapet and a Welsh slate hipped roof. Brick and stone detailing adorn the ridge and side stacks. The principal façade faces the park. The front comprises two storeys of ten six-over-six sash windows, arranged as a two-storey bow with two sashes, followed by three sashes, another similar bow and a final three sashes. Above the center of each bow is a cement-rendered ornamental stack. The ground floor features Ionic pilasters. The entrance front is of two and three storeys, with six sashes, and includes a projecting painted stone porch featuring pilasters and a projecting stack. Inside, a cantilevered staircase has a wrought iron balustrade. The interior decoration is largely in a Jacobethan style, dating to around 1880. Quorn House has been the seat of the Farnham family since approximately 1260.
