Description
Old Ferry House is a town house built between 1792 and 1794, with some alterations from the 19th century. It was constructed for Edward Easthope, a barge-master. The building is made of brick with buff headers and ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof that has some tile sections, coping, and brick end stacks. It has an L-plan and is designed in the Georgian style, featuring three storeys and a symmetrical three-window arrangement.
The top of the house has a modillioned brick cornice. The round-headed entrance is framed by an architrave and a consoled open pediment, with a fanlight above a four-flush-panel door that has decorative glazing bars. The ground floor windows have sills and rubbed brick flat arches with triple keys above tripartite sashes with a configuration of 4:12:4 panes. On the first floor, there are two 19th-century canted oriels with cornices above two 4:2-pane sashes, flanking a window with a rubbed brick flat arch and triple key above a 12-pane sash. The second floor features windows with 4/8-pane sashes on either side of a window with a 9-pane sash.
The left return of the building has a rear wing with a tile roof and an early 20th-century bay window that includes leaded casements.
