Description
This is a farmhouse, originally built in the mid-18th century, with later additions and alterations in the early 19th century. The main part of the house is red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, while the front and left return are clad in mathematical tiles, cream-coloured at the front and red on the return. It has a Welsh slate roof and brick stacks.
The original design comprised a mid-18th century front range with a short rear wing at the centre. This rear wing was later extended to cover the full rear of the house, and the front range was finished with tiles and a porch in the early 19th century. The house has two storeys and three bays. The windows are mostly late 20th-century replacements with 12 panes. The symmetrical front elevation is accessed via a step up to a central four-panel door, the upper panels being arched and glazed, with moulded lower panels. The door has an arched over-panel, panelled reveal, moulded surround, impost string, and a classical porch featuring fluted columns and pilasters, topped with an entablature. Wide windows flank the door, with gauged flat brick arches and paired sashes. The roof has two spans with end stacks.
At the rear, there is a central door with an old boarded door to the left and a 16-pane sash window to the right. Two sashes with exposed boxes are visible on the first floor. A conservatory, which is not considered to be of particular interest, has been added. The right return features one old segmental-arched 12-pane sash window on the first floor of the rear range.
Inside, original doors remain, some with raised and fielded panels and architraves, along with a balustrade to the landing featuring stick balusters and square newels. In a room on the ground floor to the left, a chamfered spine beam is visible. A room on the right has 18th-century plasterwork. Other features include ceiling moulding with roundels at the corners, a door with four moulded panels, a round-arched architrave with a key-block to the front door, and a hall rear doorcase with a pulvinated architrave. A 18th-century fireplace surround with a cornice is found in a room on the first floor to the left.
An attached 19th-century range, originally used as outbuildings and located to the rear left, is not considered to be of special interest.
