Description

The Canon's House is a house that likely includes a former outbuilding, dating from the 17th century with an earlier core. It is constructed of stone rubble, with 19th and 20th century render, and features a plain tile roof with two ridge lines. The building has two brick stacks from the 18th century at the front right and two more at the rear.

The exterior consists of two storeys and a cellar, with a seven-window range. It has early 19th century mullion and transom casements and plastered eaves. The entrance is located to the centre left and features a 19th century, six-panel door within a moulded architrave. Above the door is a jetty that continues over a 20th century casement and plank double doors to the left. To the right, there is an eight-over-eight sash window, along with two 16th century stone mullion windows with lattice leaded lights under cambered heads, and a rubble pilaster buttress. The left side of the building is plastered and likely has a timber-frame structure. At the rear, there is an 18th century wing with a pantile roof and a brick stack. The right side is made of brick and features a timber-framed gable.

Inside, the house has an 18th century dogleg staircase with turned balusters and newels topped with finials, as well as a panelled dado. On the first floor, there are three late 19th century wooden fire surrounds, four-panel doors with architraves, 19th century plank doors, and an exposed hammer-beam derived roof. The ground floor includes window shutters, six- and four-panel doors with architraves, exposed 17th century box framing, a doorway with a four-centred arch and carved spandrels, two 19th century wall cupboards, and an early 19th century fireplace. The cellar is medieval in origin, featuring an early 18th century two-leaf door, stone steps, a stone-lined structure, a stone stack base, some brick and slate bins, and a brick and cobbled floor.
