Tempe House

Tempe House is a house with an L-shaped plan, built in the 18th and early 19th centuries, constructed of red brick. The north-west range dates from the late 18th century and is built on a stone plinth. It stands two storeys high and features a plat band at each storey. The plain-tiled gabled roof has gable stacks, with the south-east stack heightened and rebuilt. The upper storey has four two-light casement windows, while the lower storey has three and two-light casements along with a doorway, all under cambered lintels.

The projecting south-east range and the connecting block at the heel of the 'L' are both early 19th century and face south-east. This south-east range is three storeys tall and has a dentilled eaves cornice. Its gabled roof is covered with slate on the inner side and modern tiles on the outer side. There is an externally expressed stack at the south-west facing gable end, with a six-over-six sash window at first-floor level to the left and a three-over-three sash above it. The north-east elevation is mostly blind, except for a small one-light window.

On the south-east front, there is a two-storey, three-sided bay with six-over-six sash windows to the left, and to the right, a six-panelled door with a four-panel overlight and a six-over-six window above. The second-floor windows are boarded over. The lintels are flat and made of gauged brick, and the stone sills are painted. The connection block at the heel of the 'L' is two-storeys high with a gabled roof covered in plain tiles. The window treatment is similar, featuring six-over-six sashes above and a tall six-over-nine window below on the right end.
