Description

Bird Place is a large house built in the 18th century. It is constructed of brick and features a string course at the first floor level, a plain parapet with coping, and an old tile roof with a coped gable end on the right and a hip on the left. The house has pedimented dormers with sash windows, symmetrical chimneys, and consists of two storeys, an attic, and a basement.

The north front has five bays with sash windows that include glazing bars, stone cills, and architrave frames on the lower floors. There is a modern half-glazed central door with a moulded rusticated architrave and voussoir head, which is set beneath a Doric porch supported by two pilasters, columns, and an entablature featuring a triglyph frieze and modillioned cornice. This entrance is approached by a flight of stone steps. To the right, there is a brick service wing that is of no special interest, which continues to the west into a late 17th century timber-framed house that is listed separately as Bird Place Cottage.

Inside, the house contains a staircase with turned balusters and square newels with moulded panels, as well as panelling in the rooms on the ground and first floors.
