Description
Oakley House is a house dating from around 1800. It has a timber frame that is plastered, with side walls made of red brick in Flemish bond, and is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The main part of the house faces northeast and features an internal stack at each end, while there is a service range at the rear of the right end, which also has an internal stack. The main range is two storeys high with attics, and the rear wing is one storey with attics.
The house has a three-window range of original sash windows, each with 12 lights. The central entrance features a six-panel door set within a fluted doorcase that has a dentilled open pediment and a fanlight with 20th-century leaded glazing. The eaves cornice is in the Gothick style and is elaborately moulded in plaster. The roof is gambrel-shaped, and there are shaped sprockets under the rear eaves of the main range. The Gothick eaves cornice shows close similarities to that of Armond House in Great Oakley.
