Description
The Grove is a house dating from the early 17th century, with later alterations. It features a timber frame with brick infilling and a tiled gable roof, designed in a lobby entrance plan. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a brick plinth. A central jettied porch spans two storeys and has a gabled roof, supported by a dentiled bressemer on acanthus consoles. There are timber cross casement windows on the first floor of the porch and to the left and right of the facade, along with an inserted French window at the extreme right. The roof includes four flat-topped dormers above the main windows and a central chimney stack. The west gable has crow-stepped brickwork and an internal chimney stack. Attached to the gable wall is a gabled stair turret featuring a single cross window with leaded panes set under a segmental arch. The gable displays Flemish bond brickwork, likely reconstructed in the later 17th century.
At the rear, there is a large central tower with three storeys, an attic, and a gabled roof, featuring varied windows. To the left, there are two cross mullioned windows on each floor, one of which has four lights, while to the right, there is a similar two-light window on each floor. A later one-storey addition made of clay lump is present on a rendered brick plinth. The interior has undergone some reconstruction, featuring panelled wainscoting and a ceiling spine beam on the ground floor.
