The Court And Forecourt Walls To North

The Court and forecourt walls to the north are part of a house dated 1908, designed by Sir Mervyn Macartney in a Free Artisan Mannerist style. The building is constructed of red brick and features a string course, brick quoins, and gauged window heads with alternating projecting voussoirs and keystones. It has a moulded brick eaves cornice beneath a tiled roof. The structure includes two projecting wings with large shaped gables, two central hipped dormers with casement windows, and four asymmetrically placed rusticated stacks with cornices.

The house has an irregular plan with a service wing to the east and consists of two storeys and an attic with five bays. It features leaded cross windows, with the centre bay recessed and showcasing an 8-light mullioned and transomed window on the first floor. A central porch is adorned with a parapet and two obelisks, featuring a rubbed brick arch with a keystone and rusticated Doric pilasters that support a segmental pediment.

To the left, there is a two-storey wing with two bays and cross windows, while the far left houses the service wing, which is also two storeys high with a hipped tile roof, tile-hung first floor, two gables, and two stacks. On the right, a two-storey, two-bay wing features cross windows and a central stack with a plaque that has an open triangular pediment and the initials M.G.W.E. along with the date in the tympanum.

The low brick forecourt walls are complemented by wrought iron railings and rusticated brick piers topped with ball finials. The south front displays cross windows with aprons, and the central projection has two shaped gables with a stone sundial positioned between them. There are three first-floor windows and three ground-floor windows. The west front includes a hipped dormer to the right, a projection to the left with a shaped gable, and a two-storey canted bay that rises to the cornice with a parapet. The first floor has a cross window to the right, and beneath it is a glazed loggia supported by Tuscan columns.

The interior retains its plan and some fittings, including fireplaces.
