Description
This is a large house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations and extensions in the early 19th century and raised in the early 20th. It is constructed of brick, rendered with scoring to resemble ashlar, and has slate roofs. The building has seven bays in total. The central entrance is located on the garden side and features double doors with a semi-circular fanlight within a plain reveal. On the ground floor to the right are three full-height windows, with flush frame sashes incorporating central French windows. To the left is a large, two-storey canted bay, featuring ground floor full-height windows and a moulded string course to the first floor, with sashes in shallow reveals and a hipped roof. The first floor has four 18th-century glazing bar sashes in shallow reveals with plain rendered lugged surrounds. A plat band is present at the top of the building, supporting small nine-pane sashes with plain rendered surrounds. Boxed eaves are also present. There are end stacks and a cross axial stack to the right of the center. Attached to the right and projecting slightly forward is a two-bay, two-storey 19th and 20th-century service wing with tripartite sashes and a plain parapet; an extruded right-end stack is also present. The left-hand end has an extruded stack with offsets, ground floor small-pane casements, and a first-floor sash. The rear of the building has become the entrance front and features two bays on the left which are three stories high; the entrance has a 20th-century Doric open porch, and two-light small-pane flush frame casements. The two-storey section to the right has a large canted bay. To the far left is an early 19th-century half-glazed door with a reeded surround and a traceried semi-circular fanlight. A hipped lean-to outshuts behind the service wing. The interior has not been inspected.
