Oakfield

Oakfield is a house built in the early 19th century, with some alterations made in the mid-20th century. It features a stucco exterior and a hipped, shallow-pitched slate roof with overhanging eaves and large stuccoed chimney stacks. The house is mainly three storeys tall and has a façade with four bays on the right that project forward, and two bays on the left flanked by giant pilasters. The left side bays have tall cross casement windows on both storeys, with ornate wrought iron balconies supported by wrought iron brackets on the first floor.

The third bay contains the main entrance, which is set within a wide portico supported by paired Tuscan columns. Above the portico is a stone balcony with pierced central and side panels. The entrance features part-glazed double doors with a moulded architrave and round-arched sidelights. To the immediate right of the portico is a narrow plain sash window, with tripartite sash windows on the first and second floors above. The fourth bay has a 15-pane sash window on the ground floor, a first-floor glazing bar sash window, and a second-floor 6-pane sash window. The projecting bays on the right include a flat-roofed ground floor extension. The left side bay has a first-floor glazing bar sash and a second-floor 6-pane sash, while the first and second-floor windows on the right side are blocked.

On the south side elevation, there is a two-storey canted bay on the left and two bays to the right. The right end bay is also flanked by giant pilasters. The windows, which all have blind boxes, are mainly tall cross casements. The first-floor windows feature bracketed cornices and wrought iron balconies that extend continuously across the centre and the canted bay. The central bay has a part-glazed door with a moulded architrave and an oculus above, which is surrounded by a carving resembling a wreath with trailing ribbons. The interior has not been inspected.
