Hogsbeck House

House, now divided into two residences, built in 1796. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, featuring a concrete tile roof with ashlar kneelers and two brick gable stacks. It is a double-depth central entrance plan structure, with three storeys and a three-bay front, including a plinth and a band at the first floor level. The central entrance is a door consisting of eight panels, now sheltered by a likely later Doric fluted porch with a flat hood. This is flanked by tripartite sash windows with segmental brick heads. On the first floor, similar windows are found to the left, with one to the right featuring a raised cill and plain casements, flanking a tall, narrow, semi-circular headed stair window containing 21 panes. Above the first floor is a datestone inscribed "GW1796", and two shorter tripartite sash windows. The rear elevation retains only one original window, and two first-floor openings have been blocked. The interior was divided into two dwellings around 1950, with minimal impact on original features. A central, deep stairhall is present, featuring a full-height stack baluster staircase that ascends from the back to the front, linking via a bridge on the first floor. All of the original joinery, including six-panel doors, remains. All original fire grates survive except those in the main ground floor rooms, and a Victorian iron range is present in the back kitchen. A remarkable room, extending the depth of the house on the first floor, remained unplastered until around 1950, suggesting a possible intended specialized function such as a hunting or shooting breakfast room, which might explain the unusually high standard of finish for the house.
