Description
A house and outbuilding, dating to approximately 1600, with 19th and 20th century additions and alterations. The house is constructed with roughcast render over a timber frame, with brick extensions and tiled roofs. It is arranged in an L shape, incorporating a former 17th-century outbuilding, extended in the 19th century to form the arm of the L to the northeast. A 19th-century extension sits to the northwest and a flat-roofed 19th-century extension with a lean-to covered way runs along the north elevation. Three cross gables are present on the south side, with the east gable projecting as a cross-wing. The house has two storeys and an attic, while the outbuilding has one and a half storeys. Dormers are visible: a small gabled dormer on the north side of the main house, one above the staircase; a small gabled dormer between the cross-wing and the cross-gable on the south side; and four flat-roofed dormers on the east side of the outbuilding. A large chimney with three stacks rises from the west of the ridge between the cross gables: two are diagonal and one is square. A further chimney is located on the ridge towards the rear of the cross-wing, and there are two side chimneys on the east elevation. The south elevation features a projecting cross-wing with iron-framed, leaded casement windows. A three-light casement sits in the gable, a four-light casement on the first floor, and two three-light casements on the ground floor. To the left, there is a three-light casement below each gable, and two French casements with marginal glazing below these. A two-light casement is located adjacent to the cross-wing above the three-light casement. A six-panel door, with glazed upper panels, is positioned under a porch with two Tuscan columns and a pediment, between the French casement and the three-light casement. The interior reveals an exposed timber frame on the upper floors, comprising a four-bay frame including a short chimney bay and a two-bay cross-wing.
