The Lawn

The Lawn is a house primarily from the 18th and 19th centuries, with an early 17th-century core. It features a timber-framed and rendered front, which previously had applied mock-timbering, while the facing and extensions at the rear are made of early 19th-century white brick. The roof is covered with plaintiles. The building has two storeys and attics, presenting a complex form with two wings of different dates that project from the front. Both wings have pierced and fluted barge-boards and spike finials. The left wing is a cross-wing that also projects to the rear and features an overhanging tie-beam supported by brackets at the front.

An external stack made of old red brick is located on the left gable and has two high barrel shafts with moulded caps and bases. A similar stack on the right gable has four barrel shafts, also with moulded caps and bases. Beyond this, there is a two-storey 19th-century extension with coloured brick on the ground floor and render above, featuring panels of pargetting on the gable end and a roof covered with black glazed pantiles.

The main range between the wings is tall and may have been raised, but all framing is concealed inside. The front has old casement windows, mostly three-light with transoms and horizontal glazing bars, with some two-light windows. An enclosed gabled porch with an entrance door features pierced and fluted bargeboards and a finial that matches the gables.

On the garden front, there are two wide full-height canted bays topped with conical roofs, each containing three sash windows per storey—six panes above and twelve panes below. To the left, there is a wide rectangular flat-roofed bay with deep small-paned sash windows and glazed French doors that have a traceried oblong fanlight above. There are also two six-pane sash windows above this bay, along with another window over the entrance door situated between the bays. The entrance features a half-glazed recessed door with a fanlight and a timber surround in a semi-circular arched opening.

Most of the interior reflects the early 19th-century phase of the house, but the left cross-wing retains elements from the 17th century, including a ground floor room with an ovolo-moulded main beam that has scroll stops. The roof over the main range is from the 18th century, featuring two rows of stepped butt purlins, rafters on edge, and a ridge-piece with applied saddles.
