Description

This is a late 17th and early 18th century house with attached outbuildings and a barn, along with an adjacent water pump. The main house is red brick with a plain tile roof, featuring two late 19th-century red brick gable stacks. The gables have brick copings, kneelers, dentil, raised brick, and dogtooth eaves. The house is two storeys plus a garret, with three bays, and a first-floor band. A central, red brick, lean-to porch with a plain tile roof was added in the 19th century, housing a six-panel door with an overlight. Tripartite casement windows with Gothick glazing bars are present on both the ground and first floors, set within segmental arches. A single-storey wing, also of red brick and plain tiles, extends to the left, with a 19th-century ridge stack and a C20 conservatory projecting from the rear. A lower, two-storey wing, dating back to the 17th century, is located to the rear and features a coped gable, kneelers, dentil eaves, and single casement windows on each floor, with the ground floor window set within a segmental arch. A 19th-century painted iron water pump with a decorative spout and handle stands in front.

Attached to the left of the 17th-century wing is a single-storey, three-bay outbuilding constructed of red brick and plain tiles with a ridge stack. It contains a lean-to section with a plank door, a 2-light casement window under a segmental arch, and a further doorway with a plank door. Adjacent to this is a two-storey, three-bay, 18th-century barn, built of red brick and pantiles, with brick coped gables, kneelers, and dentil eaves. A plinth is present on the left side. A central doorway with a plank stable door under a segmental arch leads into the barn, flanked by slit ventilators and circular openings. An upper rectangular opening is located above the right side. A brick and stone staircase with a small, segmental arched opening leads to a doorway in the gable of the barn, featuring a plank door. Set back to the left is a single-storey, three-bay range with three doorways and stable doors. Projecting to the left is another two-storey barn of red brick and pantiles, featuring coped gables, kneelers, and dentil eaves. It has a rubble plinth on the right and a brick plinth on the left side, a large blocked doorway, and a domestic segmental arched doorway with a plank door. A large lozenge-shaped ventilator sits to the left, alongside two smaller ventilators. Four cross ventilators are positioned above.

Inside the 17th-century wing of the house, there are stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. A staircase with fretted balusters is also present, some of which have been restored.
