Dullingham House

Dullingham House is a small country house built for Christopher Jeaffreson in 1749, possibly incorporating part of an earlier building. The original design featured two flanking wings and shaped, pedimented gables on the south facade, which were demolished around 1950. The remaining central block has slightly projecting cross-wings and has been re-roofed. The house is constructed of red brick with patterned burnt 'headers', a gauged red brick band between the floors, a cornice enriched by dentils, and window arches. It has a low-pitched, hipped slate roof with two tall plain stacks and an additional stack on the right side.

The building is two storeys high with attics and a basement, presenting a symmetrical facade. It features five nine-paned hung sash windows on the attic floor, six twelve-paned hung sash windows on the first floor, and four larger similar windows on the ground floor of the wings. Smaller windows flank the main entrance, which has an oval window above. The windows in the central block have segmental arches. The porch is made of dressed limestone with Corinthian columns and a broken pediment, which may be modern, and there is an eight-raised-and-fielded-panelled door. The flanking shaped walls replace the wings on either side. An early 19th-century side door with a shell hood has been resited.

The interior, which was not seen in 1983, may have good original details, including a room with raised- and fielded-panelling and a chimney piece featuring large scroll decoration. The park surrounding the house was landscaped by Humphry Repton, and the village road that originally fronted the house was relocated to its current position.
