Niven House, Pump, Wall, Gate Piers, Stable And Coach House

Niven House is a former rectory, now offices, dating to 1856 and designed by S. S. Teulon. It is accompanied by a pump, wall, gate piers, stable, and coach house. The building is constructed of yellow brick with ashlar and red brick dressings, featuring polychromatic detailing. It has slate roofs with two wall stacks and two ridge brick stacks.

The main building is in an L-shape, with a three-bay, two-storey front. Each bay is gabled, and the outer bays have small half hips swept down to the eaves. A red brick plinth and flush first-floor band are present, with a dentilated red brick course to the eaves. The central planked door is set in a pointed doorway within a single-storey, projecting gabled porch. Above the door is a recessed circular ashlar panel bearing the monogram WEK. The ground floor has a plain sash window to the right, a smaller similar window to the left, and a stepped buttress beyond. The first floor features three further sashes. All windows have curved corners, figured ashlar lintels with polychromatic brick relieving arches. Above the central first-floor window is a glazed quatrefoil. A canted bay with a hipped slate roof is located to the right of the facade. A recessed panel bearing the date 1856 is situated on the left-hand side, followed by a pointed fixed light with a decorated arch. Five plain sashes are set alongside this, followed by a further pointed light, the right-hand sash contained in a slightly projecting two-storey bay with a swept and facetted roof. The first floor features five further sashes, the right-hand pair being individually gabled. A shouldered chimney rises to the right of the facade, with a brick decorative strip. Four bays to the left extend as a lower service wing in a plainer style. A C19 iron pump is housed within a wooden gabled box attached to this service wing. A low wall with two square gate piers, topped with shallow pyramidal features, connects a single-storey gabled stable and coach house, which has a single shaped gable stack. The interior has been modernised in the 20th century but preserves a dogleg stair with a moulded hardwood handrail and newel posts.
