Ireton House

Ireton House is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with extensions added in the early and mid-19th century. The building is timber framed with brick nogging and casing, and it is partly rendered. It features plain and bullnose tile roofs, a partial first floor band, and three gable stacks. The house has an L-plan layout with an addition to the northeast, and it stands two storeys tall with four bays.

The windows include 19th-century glazing bar and plain sashes, as well as late 20th-century casements. The front of the house has a projecting 19th-century addition on the left with a canted bay window, and to the right, there is a sash window. The setback range features two sashes, while a late 19th-century single-storey addition on the right has a sash window. Above this addition, there is another sash and a 19th-century dormer.

On the west front, the left side has a projecting late 19th-century addition with a plank door, and to its right, there is a door and a projection containing a casement. Further right, there is a ground-level casement, and the south gable has a casement above. The east side has a single bay post and traces of a second, along with three casements and a plaque commemorating Henry Ireton. Above, there is a central casement flanked by single Yorkshire sashes.

The rear elevation features a blocked door and a sash on the left, with a mid-19th-century gabled dormer above. An early 19th-century addition on the right has a single sash on each floor. The south wing includes two jowled bay posts with cambered tie beams, a chamfered fireplace bressummer, and a principal rafter roof with butt purlins, struts, and wind braces. The east wing has a common rafter roof with a single purlin. Inside, there is an early 19th-century dogleg stair with winders, stick balusters, a turned newel, and a scrolled handrail, as well as a single 17th-century framed panelled door. This house is reputed to be the birthplace of Henry Ireton, who lived from around 1603 to 1659 and was a Parliamentary Commander and son-in-law of Cromwell.
