Description
Tame House is a late 18th-century house that now serves as a residential home. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof, which includes a brick cross-axial stack and an end stack. The building has a double-depth, central-staircase plan and stands two storeys tall with a symmetrical three-window range. It has ground and first-floor sill bands, a top cornice, and a stone-coped brick parapet, with the outer windows set in forward breaks. The round-headed entrance features a doorcase with pilasters and an open pediment, along with a fanlight that has decorative glazing bars above a 20th-century twelve-panel door. The windows are adorned with rubbed brick flat arches and keystones, with 16-pane sashes on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes on the first floor. At the rear, there is a gabled wing and a 20th-century single-storey addition. Inside, the staircase has an open string, stick balusters, and a wreathed handrail. Tame House is part of the same build as The Alders.
