Description
House, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, and now used as an office. It is timber-framed and rendered, with a slate half-hipped gambrel roof and a stack on the west flank. The building is arranged in an L-shape.
The exterior is two storeys with attics and a cellar, featuring a five-window front. There are three flat-roofed dormers, each with a two-light horizontal-sliding casement window incorporating a central horizontal glazing bar. The first floor has five flush sash windows with moulded surrounds and some original glass. The central window is more deeply set, with a shouldered surround, a triple keystone, and a moulded sill with consoles. The ground floor has a central doorcase with a dentil cornice, a pulvinated frieze, fluted Doric pilasters, a triple keystone and a rusticated wall surface. Flanking the door are flat-roofed segmental bow windows with small-paned sashes and thin fluted half-columns. The front door has one horizontal panel above two raised-and-fielded panels; below are two flush panels. Wrought-iron handrails and two stone steps lead to the entrance. A block set at a right angle to the main building at the rear has a half-hipped plain tile roof and a two-light horizontal-sliding casement window with a cross glazing pattern in the attic. A first-floor sash window has six panes in the upper sash and a single vertical glazing bar in the lower sash. The ground floor has a 20th-century glazed door and side light. A two-storey 19th-century rear extension is constructed of brick with a plain tile roof, and features two gabled oriel windows on the first floor.
The interior is arranged on a three-unit plan, the central unit containing an open-well staircase with carved tread ends and column-on-vase balusters. The stairs continue to the attic in a similar style, with shaped tread ends. Walls up to dado level, and beneath the stairs, have raised-and-fielded panelling, framed between Doric pilasters on the flank of the stairs. The east-facing room on the first floor is fully panelled and has a plaster cornice. Other rooms have contemporary doors and architraves, and simple plaster cornices. Windows in the western first-floor room have internal folding shutters. A ground-floor door features 17th-century panelling with original ironmongery and a fluted frieze above.
