Description

Country house, built between 1835 and 1840 by Edward Haycock of Shrewsbury for Rev. Norgrave Pemberton, replacing an earlier timber-framed manor house. It was restored in 1968-70. The house is constructed of ashlar, featuring corner pilasters and a plain corniced parapet, with windows having moulded surrounds. The roof is slate, hidden behind a balustrade, and there are ashlar stacks at the ridges. The house has a rectangular plan with a linked side wing.

The east front has two storeys and five window bays, with 3/6 sashes and taller 9/9 sashes on the ground floor. The central three window bays are slightly advanced and sheltered by a large, full-height projecting portico with six Ionic columns supporting a plain pediment. The ground floor sashes on the outer bays have moulded hoods on brackets, while the inner sashes have continuous cornices and surrounds formed as pilasters. The portico sits atop a high terrace with ashlar balustrading that extends to the north and south. A former main doorway, flanked by squat Doric columns and leading to basement rooms, has been blocked, and a new entrance has been created on the north side.

The north side presents a two-storey, six-window facade with 3/6 sashes over 9/9 sashes. The two left windows are advanced between pilasters, with hoods above the ground-floor sashes. The front entrance is centrally located with a bracketed, flat moulded hood and a tall six-panelled door with a top light.

The south face has a two-storey, five-window arrangement with 3/6 sashes and 9/9 ground-floor sashes. The left bay projects between pilasters, with a hood over the lower level. The right-hand bay is also slightly advanced between pilasters and features a first-floor, tripartite sash window (2/2:6/6:2/2) set within a projecting, ashlar pilastered canted bay and carrying a matching tripartite sash (3/3:9/9:3/3).

The rear elevation showcases a slightly projecting central three-window range, with 3/6 sashes over 9/9 sashes flanking an entrance doorway with a flat pilastered doorcase and a tripartite (3/3:9/9:3/3) sash above. A two-window bay is to the right of the 3/6/9/9 window arrangement, and a two-window bay sits to the left, with a 6/9 sash over two tiers of 3/6 sashes to the right; these sashes lack surrounds and are set in a rendered wall.

Attached to the northwest is a range with four 20th-century garage doors, a tall blank rendered parapet wall, and a greenhouse behind. This connects to a three-storey side wing matching the design of the main block; the east front has three storeys and two window bays with 6/6 sashes and 3/6 sashes on the upper storey, the south side has a 6/6 sash over a panelled door to the right, and the rear has a three-storey, three-window range with 6/6 sashes and 3/6 sashes on the upper storey, the right-hand bay being recessed. The interior has not been inspected.
