II
Country house. 1712, possibly by Francis Smith, remodelled 1815 by Thomas Cundy, partially demolished 1889. Sandstone ashlar and some brick. Main (north) front survives, and a little of the other walls. North front: large portico has a pediment with Plymouth arms supported on six Corinthian columns (four to front); this is Cundy's addition to a facade of 2 + 5 + 2 windows, the divisions defined by Doric pilasters; the windows have moulded architraves and cornice. The house was rendered roofless by a firework display in honour of the Shah of Persia in July 1889. It was set in grounds by Humphry Repton, altered when the new house was built.
