Mascalls

House. Early 19th century and later, with many additions and alterations. Brick, rendered and colour-washed, with hipped slated roofs. The plan comprises a central rectangular block facing east, with two linked deep pavilion wings at the north and south ends.

Exterior: The principal front elevation faces east and is two storeys, though the central attic space is now used and lit from the rear. The front elevation has a three-window range with sash windows with glazing bars, much renewed. Chimney stacks sit on the end walls. The ground and first floors are separated by two moulded string courses with two panels between them, decorated with Adam-esque wheat-ear and roundel motifs. The central bay projects and is pedimented with a cartouche in the tympanum and a stack projecting from the pediment. A central 20th-century flat-headed porch in Tuscan style has been added. On the ground floor there are two windows of 4x4 panes and a 20th-century oak door with decorative iron work. The first floor has three windows of 4x4 panes. To the north, the pavilion and linking bay have blind first-floor window recesses and moulded string courses as in the centre block, continuing with an Adam-esque panel on the link bay. The ground-floor pavilion has a blind round-headed recessed arch containing a blind doorway, while the link bay has a round-headed niche. The south pavilion and link bay details are now covered by a later addition said to be essentially early 20th century. The north end has a ground-floor servants' range with a panelled door and a continuous range of fixed windows each side. A taller block behind has a hipped roof and a segment-headed sash window with glazing bars of 3x4 panes. The end pavilion has a hipped roof and a segment-headed sash window with glazing bars of 3x4 panes.

The rear west elevation shows the principal units of the central block linked pavilion with two string courses but with additional units. The ground falls to the rear, and the house sits on a podium with semi-basement windows. The central block's north end has windows enlarged in the mid-19th century to a two-storey canted bay with a hipped slated roof. All windows except two on the ground floor of the projecting bay—one fixed and one casement—are simple two-paned sashes. A 20th-century flat-roofed dormer window of three sash lights has been added. The middle register between floors has blind window recesses. The south linking bay has a simple canted bay added, similar to that on the central block. The south pavilion has string courses but no windows. The north pavilion has a projecting round stair tower with a conical roof surmounted by a lantern, also with a conical roof. Two small round-headed casement stair windows light the tower. The rear of the pavilion and ground-floor link to the servants' block has four small round-headed casement windows. The middle register of the pavilion and link to the central block has two simple sash windows. The ground floor of the link has a doorway with a semicircular fanlight with glazing bars, a door with two lower sunk panels and upper glazing with glazing bars of 2x2 panes, and a round fixed window adjacent to the doorway. The north servants' block has a ground-floor casement window with glazing bars of 6x3 panes; above on the first floor is a two-light casement with glazing bars of 6x4 panes. A west unit has a Venetian-pattern window, and a 20th-century swimming pool in 19th-century style stands to the west (not included in the listing).

The south end elevation shows the early 19th-century pavilion with a hipped slated roof and stacks at the east and west ends. It has a three-window range with two string courses defining a middle register with blind window recesses. All windows are 20th-century simple sashes. A central ground-floor door, raised above ground-level stairs to the west and a low wall with an ornamental balustrade to the east, is round-headed with a glazed fanlight. The door has two lower panels and a single upper glazed pane. To the east is the gable end of an early 20th-century unit with a Venetian-style window and two sash windows with a central round-headed fixed window.

The north end elevation shows a three-storey pavilion with a three-window range with moulded string courses and windows between. Blind recessed panels sit above the ground-floor windows under the lower string course. The ground floor has two sash windows with glazing bars of 3x4 panes. The first and second floors each have three sash windows of 3x2 panes. A 19th-century ground-floor servants' block overlaps to the west with a stack and a unit with two round-headed windows with glazing bars—one of 2x3 panes and one of 3x4 panes. A 20th-century door between has a lower panel and glazing above. A swimming pool stands to the west.

Interior: Much altered and renewed. The spiral stair in the stair tower for servants remains, as does extensive cellar beneath the podium.
