The Old Mansion And Attached Wall, Railings And Lamp Holder

The Old Mansion is a detached house, now sub-divided, dating from around 1700, with wings added in the late 19th century when the north entrance facade was refronted. The south garden facade was refaced in the late 18th century.

The north facade, which serves as the entrance, is constructed of brown brick with red brick dressings and bands at the first floor level and above the first floor windows. It features a slated roof with dormers, tall chimney stacks, and a wooden modillion cornice that rises to form a pediment above a central dormer. The building is two storeys high and has nine windows, along with a three-window projecting bay on the left and a single recessed window on the right. The central porch projects two storeys and includes a doorway with a console-bracketed cornice, an overlight, and a panelled door. The first floor has a round-arched window with intersecting tracery and a cornice. The windows have gauged red brick flat arches and dressings, with flush framed sashes that have exposed boxing.

The south garden facade is made of multi-coloured stock brick with red brick dressings. It features pilasters at the corners that support a moulded brick cornice and a cement parapet. The windows have gauged red brick flat arches and are flanked by 18th-century wooden pilasters. There is an early 19th-century loggia along the ground floor front, which includes a cast-iron arcaded trellis, a balcony, and a tented roof. This loggia was extended in the late 19th century in a similar style at the west end and along the west side of the garden, forming a conservatory.

Inside, the mansion is noted for retaining its panelling. The property also features attached cast-iron railings with urn finials on a stone-capped brick wall, along with a gate pier that includes a cast-iron lamp-holder.
