Northland House

Northland House is a house dating from the 17th century, which was refronted in the mid to late 18th century and underwent alterations and extensions in 1902 by Ernest Newton for Richard Biddulph Martin. The building features a combination of limestone ashlar and rubble, topped with a plain tiled roof that has gable-end parapets and two large brick stacks at the rear, each with three square shafts. It stands three storeys high, with a band at the first floor level and a chamfered plinth. The house has three bays, with chamfered end quoins. The outer bays on the ground and first floors have 12-pane sash windows, while the second floor windows are blind. The central bay on the upper floors features a long round-headed stair window with a raised moulding above the arched head on imposts, along with a multi-paned sash window that has a traceried head. The central entrance is accentuated by a moulded flat canopy on console brackets, a door with six raised panels, and a traceried fanlight.

To the right side of the elevation, there is a c1902 addition that projects in front of the main building. This addition is made of ashlar with a hipped plain tiled roof and a brick stack on the right end. It is two storeys tall, with a band at the first floor level and two bays featuring chamfered end quoins. All windows in this section are 12-pane sashes, although the first-floor windows on the front elevation and the ground floor window at the angle with the main house are blind. At the rear of the main house, there are two parallel wings from the original 17th-century structure, both of which have had their roofs raised, likely around 1902.

Inside, the main 18th-century section retains its limestone flags and features a dog-leg staircase with turned balusters leading to the first floor. The second floor has decorative openwork panels that replaced the former balustrading, added in 1902.
