Description

House, dating from circa 1690 with later additions. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with ashlar quoins and dressings. The roof is tiled with coped verges on kneelers, and features brick panelled ridge stacks. The building comprises two parallel ranges aligned north-south, with additional wings to the west and north-west.

The south front is two storeys and an attic, with a boldly moulded eaves cornice and a central balustraded parapet between two gables, topped with ball finials. The quoins are of unequal length – the ground floor quoins are plain, while the first floor quoins have chamfered rustication. There are five bays, containing cross windows with raised and ovolo-moulded surrounds, plain mullions, and transoms. The windows contain casements with leaded lights, and a continuous hood mould covers the ground floor windows, stepping up over the central door. The door has a heavy moulded surround and a broken pediment containing a pedestalled pineapple motif. A low, mid-to-late 19th-century wing is located to the left; it is single-storied and features a slightly set-back blind bay to the left, two cross windows to the centre with moulded surrounds, and a door to the left with an ovolo-moulded surround.

The north front is also two storeys and an attic, similarly featuring a boldly moulded eaves cornice and gables capped by ball finials. The quoins again are of unequal length, with plain ground floor quoins and chamfered first floor quoins. Five bays contain cross windows to the three central bays, with flat brick arches and raised keystones. The ground floor windows to the left and right incorporate glazed doors with semi-circular heads. A central half-glazed door has an ovolo-moulded surround. An 18th-century clock is situated between the two gables, with associated bells above. A single-storey extension is located to the right, in front of and partly masking the 19th-century wing. This extension has three bays and glazing bar casements, with a gabled bay to the left.

The interior features a staircase with turned balusters and faceted newel finials, which have been partially re-set. Exposed main ceiling beams are evident, ovolo-moulded, hollow chamfered, or stopped and chamfered. A timber-framed partition extends from ground floor to roof within the east range. A fireplace in The Hall contains an elaborately carved oak arch, which is also re-set. Pine panelling is found in The Dining Room.
