Description
This is a late 17th-century house with 18th and 19th-century additions and early to mid-19th-century alterations. It is constructed of red brick in English stretcher bond, with later additions in Flemish bond, along with ashlar quoins and dressings. The roof is tiled, with coped verges on kneelers, and includes brick ridge stacks and a corner stack, all with octagonal shafts.
The original part of the house consists of two parallel ranges aligned north-south. A further wing, built in the 18th century, projects south. There are also extensions to the south. A gabled 18th-century wing, two storeys high and one bay wide, features chamfered quoins of unequal lengths and 19th-century wooden frame cross windows with dripstone bands. The 17th-century block is three storeys high with two gabled bays, featuring a high stone plinth, quoins of unequal length, and chamfer mullioned windows containing 19th-century wooden casements with decorative glazing bars; those to the first floor have three lights and a moulded sill band, while those to the second floor have two lights. The ground floor right features a large 19th-century mullioned and transomed window. A 19th-century six-panelled door is located to the left, set within a panelled doorcase, flanked by small fixed light windows. A corner chimney is situated to the right, formerly matched by one on the left.
The east elevation features a moulded plinth, first-floor band, moulded eaves cornice, and chamfered quoins of unequal length. It has three windows, with mullioned and transomed windows in the centre, and cross-windows to the first floor left and right. A canted bay window is present on the ground floor right, and a blind gabled extension is on the ground floor left.
Inside, the east wing incorporates two reused medieval roof trusses with cusped braces extending from the tie beam to slightly curved truncated principals. A dwarf wall and 19th-century cast iron railings extend approximately ten yards from the north-eastern angle of the house, partially enclosing a small courtyard.
