Description
Irby House is a house that has been converted into an office. It was built in the mid-18th century and has undergone some alterations in the 19th century. The building features red brick with lined render and a pantile roof with coped gables, along with two brick gable stacks.
The exterior is two storeys high, plus attics, and has a five-bay front with a band at the first floor. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with an overlight, surrounded by a moulded frame with roundels and a small hood, and is flanked by two margin light sash windows. The first floor has five similar windows, all of which have brick segmental heads. The roof includes three eaves dormers with divided sashes and leaded segmental tops.
Inside, the house retains a turned baluster staircase, a decorative plaster ceiling in the ground floor room, and full-height panelled cupboards with an overmantle in the front first floor rooms. Historically, this building was constructed on the site of the original Irby House, which was the home of Sir Anthony Irby and is believed to have been demolished around 1770.
