Description

Fielden House is a house with origins dating back to the 17th century, which was later reworked in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of red brick and has slate roofs. The main block has six windows across a three-storey front, with a later parallel block of two storeys. The north elevation features brick bands at the first and second floor levels, and there is brick coping on the gables. Each floor has six unevenly spaced sash windows with glazing bars, all set beneath gauged brick flat heads. The central doorway consists of part-glazed double doors beneath a pedimented timber porch, supported by piers and pilasters with recessed panels. A substantial red brick ridge stack with four rebuilt diagonal shafts serves a large inglenook in the ground floor room, and there is another red brick stack with rebuilt diagonal shafts on the right-hand gable end. At the rear, there is a one-storey and attic tiled outbuilding.
