Kirby House

Kirby House is a country house dating from the 18th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of grey brick with red dressings and red chamfered raised quoins, topped with hipped tiled roofs. The house has a double pile layout with a later addition to the southeast and stands two storeys high with an attic.

The northeast block is from the early 18th century and features a moulded brick cornice at the base of the parapet, along with symmetrically spaced stacks. The southwest block, dating from the late 18th century, has a moulded timber eaves cornice, three cambered headed dormers, and flanking chimneys.

On the northeast elevation, there are five glazing bar sashes with cambered heads and exposed box frames. The central three sashes are slightly set forward from the facade, which rises to a raised parapet with a pediment and a central semi-circular headed sash. The central door is topped with a semi-circular fanlight and is sheltered by a curved hood supported by cut brackets.

The northwest elevation features a left-hand block with three glazing bar sashes with cambered heads above a large square parapetted two-window bay to the left. There is also a half-glazed door in a doorcase with composite fluted half columns under brackets that support a curved pedimented hood, along with a narrow glazing bar sash to the right. The right-hand block has three glazing bar sashes with cambered heads on the upper floor, one sash to the left, and a blocked Venetian window with raised brick dressings to the right.
