Description

Hesketh House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with some alterations from the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain tile roof. The building has three storeys above a basement, with a painted plinth and a dentil brick eaves cornice. There is an off-centre brick ridge stack to the left and an integral brick end stack to the right. The façade consists of three bays, with glazing bar sashes that have exposed boxes, painted stone cills, and gauged-brick heads.

To the right, there is a door with six raised and fielded panels, topped by a fanlight featuring intersecting Gothick tracery. This door is framed by an early to mid-19th century wooden doorcase that includes panelled reveals and soffit, with panelled spandrels, a moulded architrave, and fluted pilaster strips that support a frieze with large shaped brackets and a projecting flat cornice. Two stone steps lead up to the door, and there is a cast-iron bootscraper to the left.

To the left, a round-arched passageway doorway features a boarded door and two stone steps leading up. Inside, there is an early 19th-century staircase with a closed string and stick balusters. The entrance hall likely has a moulded cornice from the 18th century, while mid-19th-century fireplaces and 18th-century six-panelled doors with L-hinges and moulded architraves can also be found throughout the interior.
