Description

Field House is a mid-18th century house with modern additions at the rear. It is constructed of red brick and features a parapetted plain tile roof with end stacks. The building has two storeys and attics, with three hipped dormers. There is a band at eaves height and between the storeys. The front has a range of five hung sash windows with glazing bars in flush wood frames, topped by cambered arches. Four similar windows flank a central doorway, which is framed by a doorcase with fluted pilasters, a plain entablature with a Doric frieze, a dentil cornice, and a triangular pediment. The door itself has six raised and fielded panels. The facade also features two original bell-shaped rainwater heads.

At the south end, there is an adjoining mid-18th century shaped wall made of red brick, and at the north end, there is an adjoining red brick cottage that was originally part of a row. The cottage has a plain tiled roof and two sash windows with glazing bars. Inside, there is a late 18th century staircase with four flights, an open string design, square section balusters, turned newels, and scroll tread ends.
