Mansion House Farmhouse

The house is a farmhouse dating to the mid to late 17th century, with extensions added in the 18th and mid-19th centuries. Constructed primarily of red brick with some timber framing and roughcast, it has tiled roofs. The original building is an unusual long rectangular range, consisting of two or more builds of differing heights. The front is roughcast, with the tallest bay at the original right end. A panelled door with a cambered head leads into the house, alongside a tall two-light timber glazing bar casement with a moulded flush frame on the first floor. The roof is hipped to the right, and a gable end to the left steps down to a lower gable-ended bay with similar two-light casements. Exposed timber struts are visible in the 17th-century brickwork of the gable. To the left is a longer two-bay range, with a ground floor two-light casement and a raked two-light dormer. A lower ground floor to the left contains an entrance and a three-light casement, all under a hood. A first-floor two-light casement sits above. To the far left is an 18th-century extension with an entranceway and a two-light window. 19th-century red brick additions are to the right, including a projecting three-bay wing with a gable end to the front, an extruded stack with offsets, a gable parapet with moulded kneelers. The left return features glazing bar sashes in reveals with gauged brick flat arched heads and stone sills; the ground floor centre and first floor two bays to the front are blind. A cellar entrance has a cambered head. The right return has a bay of glazing bar sashes in a vertical plum brick band, and to the right end is a second 19th-century block with a panelled door, a timber porch with a simple entablature, glazing bar sashes, and a hipped roof. A single bay to the right return has plum brick with red brick dressings and glazing bar sashes. The rear elevation displays English bond red brick to the original building, with altered openings. A 19th-century six-light casement with cambered head is on the ground floor to the left, while a small two-light casement is in an earlier large opening with a crudely cambered head on the first floor. A large 17th-century external chimney breast with multiple offsets, a small window on the left side, a plat band, and a tall 19th-century cap with diagonally set courses is also visible on the rear. A first-floor two-light casement is to the right of the stack, and a lower range to the far right has an entrance and blocked openings. A 19th-century gable end features a two-light casement with a cambered head and a stack. A one-story brick outbuilding with an enclosed glass and timber front and a hipped roof sits to the far left from the front, alongside a one-story weatherboarded outbuilding with a hipped roof. The interior includes stop-chamfered bearers, an early 18th-century staircase with vase balusters, a panelled stairwell, and a first-floor room. A 17th-century wall painting of a house is found on the first-floor end wall.
