Pattesley House

Pattesley House is believed to be a former church of St. John Baptist that has been converted into a farmhouse. It dates from the late medieval period, with 16th and 17th century conversions and later additions. The building features a combination of brick, flint, and some ashlar dressings, topped with black and red pantiled roofs and some slate. The former church forms the main block, which is accompanied by a 17th century stair outshut, surrounded by 18th and 19th century rear lean-to additions, along with further 20th century extensions to the east and south.

The house is two storeys with an attic. The south facade, dating from the late 18th century, has three bays with four main windows of three lights beneath segmental arches. The windows are modern casements with horizontal glazing bars in a Victorian style, and there are transoms to the ground floor windows. The front door and a two-light window above it are framed by skewback arches. The facade is adorned with a simple dentil cornice and a plain platband. The west wall, made of flint, retains medieval features, including a blocked 14th century central doorway that has been obscured by a fireplace, with chamfered reveals and a hood mould. There is also a small blocked stone window with a rectangular hood mould, likely from the 16th century, and ashlar quoins.

A Victorian two-light window in Gothic style features cusped ogee tracery and some coloured glass. Additionally, there is a Victorian two-storey canted bay on the end wall of the outshut beside the original gable end, with plate glass sashes on the first floor and French windows below. At the rear, there is a continuous outshut with a catslide roof, and the 17th century stair outshut has been extended outward to align with the 18th century outshut. A large repositioned sash window with glazing bars and a segmental head lights the stair. The building has one gable-end stack to the west, one former gable-end stack to the east that is now axial, and one at the rear of the original main block.

Inside, there is a fine early 17th century four-ramp dog-leg stair with tapered square-sectioned balusters and an unusual suspended arched bulkhead decoration featuring carved pendants and syhndrels. The newels and rails are embellished with elaborate chamfer stops. The roof dates from the 18th century.
