Description
This is a small country house dating to around 1750, with later alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, ashlar, and red brick, with ashlar and brick dressings. The roof is slate, with a single ridge and three gable-moulded ashlar stacks, and ashlar coped gables with a moulded cornice. The building is L-shaped and has two storeys plus an attic.
The south front, facing the garden, has five bays. It is ashlar-faced, with rusticated quoins, moulded cill bands to the ground and first floors, a dentilated cornice, and a coped parapet. The central doorway has 19th-century double-glazed doors within a moulded ashlar surround, featuring a double keystone, and an outer surround of Tuscan Doric pilasters with an entablature and pediment above. Flanking the doorway are two glazing bar sashes in rusticated surrounds with triple keystones. Above these are five glazing bar sashes in moulded, eared ashlar surrounds topped with pediments. In the parapet are three oval openings with moulded ashlar surrounds and keystones. Three dormer windows are set back behind the parapet.
The west front, which faces the street, has five bays, with lower rubble walling and upper brick walling. The three southern bays have a rubble eaves band and ashlar quoins. A main doorway is located to the right, with a six-panel door and an ornate elliptical fanlight, all under an iron quatrefoil columned porch with a flat hood. To the left is another door with a six-panel, part-glazed door, under an ashlar wedge lintel with a keystone. Further to the left is a single glazing bar sash with an ashlar wedge lintel and keystone. Above are three glazing bar sashes in plain raised ashlar surrounds with a linking cill band. The two northern bays are slightly set back, with a hipped roof. A doorway with a plank door is situated to the left, under a rubble segment head, and to the right are two glazing bar sashes with brick segment heads. Above these are two glazing bar sashes to the eaves.
The interior contains an original staircase of single flight return design, with three turned balusters per head, and a plaster ceiling. The drawing room has wooden dado panelling with plaster panelling above, a wooden overmantle, and a plaster ceiling with later additions. The dining room retains some original panelling. Upstairs, two rooms feature some panelling and two original fireplaces. The internal arrangement of the house was altered, likely in the late 18th century.
