Outhill House

Outhill House is a farmhouse, dating from the 18th century, with additions from the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. The original 18th-century range is constructed of English bond brickwork, while a later 19th-century range uses Flemish bond red brick. A simple brick cornice runs along the top. The roof is tiled, with brick ridge and lateral stacks. The building originally comprised two units and has been extended to form an L-shaped plan and subsequently a T-shaped plan. It is two storeys and has an attic, with a three-window front. An entrance is set in an angle, featuring a six-panelled door within a moulded surround, and a small lancet window above. A lead rainwater head on the wall to the left is likely from the mid-18th century. Windows are sash windows set beneath brick flat arches. A rebuilt external stack is located at the right end. The original 18th-century range projects significantly to the left. A two-storey 19th-century canted bay has sixteen-pane sashes. An attic window is present, as is a gable with brick corbelling. The left return side has a two-window range, with a blocked doorway on the loft level, where a window has since been inserted below and to the right. Openings are set within brick segmental arches. A hipped dormer on the left incorporates a three-light leaded wood casement. A further late 19th-century range extends from the main building. The rear elevation is irregular, with a single-storey wing on the left. Inside, a good 18th-century dog-leg staircase features column-on-vase balusters, a scrolled string, and a moulded handrail. One room has an 18th-century niche and dado rail.
