Jessamine House

Jessamine House is a house dating from around 1700, featuring some reused 16th-century timber framing. The front is made of chequered red brick, and it has a plain tile gable end roof. The building has two storeys and attics, with five wood casements that have flat gauged brick lintels. The central door consists of four fielded panels and two glazed panels, topped with a semi-circular hood that has a moulded cornice. There is a heavy moulded wood eaves cornice with modillions, and three casement dormers with pediment gables. A moulded floor band runs over the doorcase. The rear elevation includes a plastered gabled stair tower and a large external red brick stack. There is a 20th-century one-and-a-half-storey extension, and the east gable end is plastered, having previously been a lower timber frame extension. Inside, there is an arched central passage and an 18th-century dog-leg staircase with barley twist balusters. The front right ground floor room retains original fielded panelling.
