Description

Othorpe House is a house built around 1840. It features very finely coursed ironstone rubble with limestone dressings and has a plain tiled roof. The house is two storeys high with an attic. The entrance front has three bays and a lower three-bay wing to the right. The centrally placed doorway is in a full height projecting coped gable porch, featuring a two-centred arched doorway with a hood mould and a 2-light mullioned and transomed window above. There is a large expressed chimney in the left-hand bay. To the right, there are 3-light mullioned and transomed windows on each floor, and a 2-light window in a coped gabled dormer with moulded kneelers. The lower wing has a doorway and two windows, which are 2 and 3-lights with stone lintels.

The south elevation has two bays with a squared bay window of 4-lights to the left, topped with a raking ashlar roof, and a 4-light mullioned window above. The right-hand bay projects as a gable with a canted stone bay window on the ground floor, a 3-light mullioned and transomed window above, and a lancet in the apex. All gables feature moulded kneelers and finials. The west elevation consists of five bays, including a lower wing to the left with one bay that has a wood mullioned light. There are two gables, the southernmost being wide with a central stack carried on corbels and outer 2-light transomed windows. Various gable and axial stacks are present throughout the building.
