Description
Eresby House is a building originally constructed as a house in the early 17th century, later converted to stables in the 18th century, and reconverted back to a house in the late 19th century, with some 20th-century alterations. The structure is made of red brick with slate and pantile roofs and features three 19th-century ridge stacks. It has an H-plan layout and is two storeys high with garrets, showcasing a first-floor band, gable bands, one 19th-century bargeboard, and a dogtoothed eaves course.
The projecting gable ends include semi-circular headed recessed panels with chamfered brick surrounds. The right gable features a blocked 19th-century arch on the ground floor and an 18th-century oval pitching eye with a brick segmental hood mould above a blocked window. The central bays have been refenestrated in the 20th century but still contain an 18th-century flat splayed brick carriage arch. The left projecting bay has a three-light 19th-century casement window on the ground floor and a two-light similar window on the first floor.
The late 19th-century left side front has four bays, a plinth, a moulded terracotta band, an eaves course, and ashlar lintels. There is an off-centre 20th-century door in a projecting brick surround with a coped lead roof, flanked by a single 19th-century two-light casement on the left and a pair on the right. The first floor features four similar windows. The right side front, which has dogtooth eaves, was rebuilt above the 18th century and includes two 19th-century segmental arched doorways with double planked doors, along with a single similar doorway to the right. Above these are two oval pitching eyes set in raised brick surrounds from the 18th century. The rear has 20th-century doors and windows, along with evidence of earlier blocked openings. Eresby Hall, associated with this property, was destroyed by fire in 1769, and the manor of Eresby was held by the Willoughby family, who were also linked to Grimsthorpe Castle in southern Lincolnshire.
