Description
Cranbrook House is a house dating from around 1800. It is built of gault brick and features a steeply pitched slate roof with tumbled parapet gables and end stacks. The house is two storeys high with attics, and it has flat-roofed dormers that contain horizontal sliding sash windows. The front of the house has a symmetrical arrangement of three recessed hung sash windows with glazing bars, set within cambered, gauged brick arches that have 'rusticated' darker brick jambs. Similar windows are found on either side of the central doorway, which is framed by a doorcase with fluted, engaged columns, reeded capitals, and a dentil bracketed cornice that supports a broken triangular pediment. The doorway features panelled reveals and an arch, a semi-circular fanlight, and a six-panelled door.
To the left, there is a later one-storey service wing that includes an enclosed servants staircase projecting above the ridge on the right. The wing has a dentil eaves cornice and two recessed hung sash windows with glazing bars next to double, flush-panelled doors in a cambered gauged brick arch. At the rear, there is an early 19th-century two-storey range with a gault brick hipped slate roof, featuring a first-floor range of five hung sash windows with glazing bars in gauged brick arches, and five full-length casement windows at ground level. Inside the main building, the first-floor bedrooms have panelled gable walls, original shouldered chimney pieces flanking cupboards with two panelled doors, and original early 19th-century chimney pieces along with an open-string staircase in the later building.
