The Homestead And Attached Stable Block

The Homestead and attached stable block is a house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, constructed of brick and stone with a continuous, part fish-scaled, tiled roof and three ridge chimneys. It is two storeys high and features five windows. The garden front includes a brick dentilled cornice, 19th-century casement windows that are regularly placed, and 20th-century French casements on the ground floor, with an entrance from a 20th-century two-storey porch. The road frontage includes a late 19th-century addition that has mock timber-framing.

Inside, there are exposed rectangular timber-framed panels and roof trusses, along with a late 18th-century oak staircase featuring plain balusters and an open string with cut brackets. To the right, there is an attached stone structure from the 18th century, which is two storeys high and has three bays; this was formerly a kitchen and is now part of the bedroom area of the house, featuring an interrupted tie-beam truss with a king-post. To the left, there is a linked brick stable block with an external stair and complete 18th-century roof trusses. The building was formerly known as Grovesend Farmhouse.
