Cakebole House

Cakebole House is a farmhouse built in the 18th century and remodeled around the early 19th century. It features red brick in English garden wall bond, which has been heightened in Flemish garden wall bond brickwork. The house has a low-pitched hipped slate roof with lead rolls at the hips and ridge, and deep eaves. There are brick stacks on the sides.

The plan is double-depth, with a central entrance passage that leads between two main front rooms to a stair hall at the rear, flanked by two back rooms, the left of which is the kitchen. The rear right-hand wing was extended in the 20th century.

The exterior has three storeys and an attic, with a nearly symmetrical southeast front that has three windows. The windows and central doorway are slightly off-center. The 19th-century windows include 16-pane sashes, a 12-pane sash at the center of the first floor, and 8-pane sashes on the second floor. The ground and first-floor windows are set in earlier openings with cambered arches, now covered by rendered heads with keyblocks. The doorway, located to the left of center, features a moulded doorcase with a cornice and console brackets, topped with a small later canopy. The door itself is a flush 6-panel design, with the top four panels glazed. The southwest side has two sash windows on the ground floor, while the northwest rear has a lower wing added in the 20th century.

The interior of Cakebole House is largely intact and retains many original features, including 18th and 19th-century joinery such as panelled doors, window shutters, and an early 19th-century mahogany open-string staircase with stick balusters, column newels, and a moulded handrail. The moulded plaster ceiling cornices add to the character of the rooms. The drawing and dining rooms feature mid-19th-century marble chimneypieces with cast-iron grates.
