Sherecroft

Sherecroft is a house built in the late 18th century, with significant rear extensions added in the mid 19th century. The front walls are constructed of brickwork featuring blue headers and red quoins, with rubbed flat arches and stone coping on the parapet, which ramps up at each side. The other walls are made of brickwork in Flemish bond, accented with stucco architectural details. The roof is hipped with tiles, while the rear has a higher slate roof arranged in a triple pile.

The symmetrical south front has two storeys and five windows, one of which is blank, and features Victorian sash windows. A Doric porch with a triglyph order includes two pilasters and two smooth columns, along with an architrave and panelled reveals. The entrance has a six-panelled door, four of which are glazed, and is accessed by stone steps. The prominent rear extensions showcase grotesque classical features, including a large porch. Notably, this house was the residence of William Cobbett from 1812 to 1817.
