Description
This is a house dating to around 1850, with a later 19th or early 20th century extension. It is constructed of gault brick, with fishscale tile, slate and plain tile roofs. The roofs have gabled ends featuring shaped and pierced bargeboards. Chimneys are prominent, with octagonal shafts; one central stack has four shafts and a twisted moulded brick shaft on the left end.
The house is in a Tudor Style Cottage Ornée architectural style, built on a double-depth plan. It comprises a central cross wing with principal rooms and a kitchen behind, a small room and entrance passage within a stair-tower at the back, and a single-room plain wing on the right. A 20th-century conservatory is set at the front of the right wing, and a late 19th or early 20th century extension projects from the rear angle.
The house has two storeys to the central gabled cross wing, a single-storey wing on the right and a single-storey-and-attic wing on the left, creating an asymmetrical frontage. The central cross wing features a large painted stone bay window on the ground floor, and a two-light diamond-pane casement window above with a stone hood mould. A 20th-century conservatory occupies the angle on the right. The left wing has a large gabled dormer with a two-light casement window with glazing bars, and a lean-to porch with a tripartite arcaded front. The south elevation shows a lozenge-pane window on the gabled end and a stair tower set back in the angle. The north end has a sham timber frame. A two-storey gabled extension is located at the rear angle, featuring a plank door at the rear, a gabled window and a segmental-arch kitchen window with a multipane cast-iron frame.
The interior is largely unaltered, and includes reused features believed to have originated from Mildmay House, which was demolished in the 19th century. A notable feature is the open-well staircase with a carved interlace string and balustrade, thick moulded balusters, a kitchen fireplace with a chimney-piece constructed from reused materials, a small front room with a little Gothic grate within a wooden chimney-piece and cupboard above, a large central room with an intersecting beam ceiling and pilastered chimney-piece, along with a chamfered arch on the landing.
