Description

This is a house, dating from the 17th century, with later alterations in the late 18th, early 19th, and late 19th centuries. It is constructed of red brick with painted ashlar dressings and some painted rubble, and has a slate roof with stone coped gables, a modillioned eaves cornice, and gable stacks.

The front facade is three storeys and two bays, featuring a rubble plinth, first and second-floor bands, and quoins. Steps lead to a doorway on the right, flanked by ionic half columns, an entablature with guttae and triglyphs, a traceried overlight, and a panelled door. A glazing bar sash window is to the left of the doorway. Above this are two glazing bar sashes, and above those, two smaller glazing bar sashes. All windows have serpentine lintels and raised keystones. A carriage archway is located on the right, with flanking rusticated piers and iron gates. A glazing bar sash window is set within a 19th-century addition above the archway, beneath a wooden lintel. The west side has a doorway to the left with a bracketed hood and a panelled door; to the right of this is a glazing bar sash, above which are two glazing bar sashes and two smaller glazing bar sashes, all with serpentine lintels and raised keystones.

A single-storey addition from the early 19th century projects westwards on the right. A very thick wall, likely constructed of 17th-century rubble, divides the house in two at both ground and first-floor levels.

The mid-19th century staircase features a four-flight design with two turned bannisters per tread, carved tread ends, and a moulded handrail. Delicate openwork wooden arches are situated above the lower two flights, adorned with decorative keystones and pendentives. The hall floor is paved with stone flags, and there is a doorway leading to the rear of the house, featuring a semi-circular head, a moulded doorcase with a keystone, and a traceried fanlight. A substantial portion of the late 18th-century roof structure remains.
