Harnage House

Harnage House is a small country house built in the late 17th century, with extensions and remodels likely made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick with grey sandstone ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof. The house has an H-plan layout, with a late 17th-century cross-wing to the southeast that has been extended to the northwest.

The building stands two storeys high and includes two-storey and attic cross-wings. Notable architectural details include a chamfered stone-topped plinth, dentil brick floor bands, and stone quoins on the 17th-century wing. The gable ends are stone-coped and parapeted, topped with globe finials at both the feet and apexes. There are various stacks, including an off-centre brick ridge stack on the right with a dentil brick band, a brick ridge stack on the left cross-wing, and an external lateral brick stack on the right cross-wing.

The façade is arranged in a 1:3:1 bay pattern, featuring mid- to late 19th-century wooden cross-windows with leaded lights and gauged brick heads. The ground floor includes flat-topped canted bays on the cross-wings and a pair of leaded half-glazed doors in the second bay from the right, which is sheltered by a hipped leaded porch on wrought iron brackets.

Inside, there is a late 17th-century dog-leg staircase with a closed string, turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newel posts adorned with carved guilloche ornament and globe finials. The interior also contains mainly early to mid-19th-century fittings, including panelled architraves with corner paterae. Additionally, there is a small late 19th-century cast iron pump fixed to the northwest wall, featuring a plain shaft and spout, along with a curved handle.
