Description

House, dating from circa 1721. The house is constructed of red brick with a slated roof. The facade is seven bays wide, originally of three storeys, but now reduced to two. The central three bays feature a pediment with doubled rusticated brick quoins, while the two outer bays have single rusticated quoins. There are six ground floor and seven first floor sash windows with glazing bars, each set within flat rubbed brick arches. A later 18th-century Roman Doric wooden doorcase with pilasters, entablature and pediment shelters an arched, eight-panelled raised and fielded door. Lead downpipes are present, embellished with gilded crests. Stone parapets and an early 19th-century stone coat of arms adorn the pediment.

A two-bay return wing extends to the north, along with a single bay north wing, both featuring rusticated quoins. To the south is a two-storey, later 18th-century three-sided bay with sash windows having glazing bars. A two-storey, three-bay wing in a 17th-century classical brick style, attributed to Philip Webb around 1880, is located to the west, incorporating a re-used wooden doorcase with fluted Ionic half-columns and a swan neck open pediment.

The interior includes a central three-bay hall with a plaster dado and panels with lugged corners. Four six-panelled raised and fielded doors are set within lugged architraves. A central, eight-panelled arched-headed door, aligned with the main entrance, stands within an arched pilaster frame. A stone fire surround with lugged corners is also present. A three-bay room to the south features a wooden frieze with modillions. A panelled room to the north has simpler details. To the west, a well staircase, neo-17th century in style and designed by Philip Webb, features a panelled dado. A three-bay room on the first floor, located to the south, echoes ground floor details in the chimney breast and cornice. A re-used Palladian wooden fire surround and over-mantle are found on the upper landing.
