Description
Harrison House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, although it may incorporate an earlier core. The front is built of red and blue chequered brick on a ragstone base, with a ragstone return elevation. The roof is tiled, hipped, and has a central stack and two hipped dormers. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a plinth and a brick eaves cornice of three courses, dentilled, corbelled, and dogtoothed, leading to a hipped roof. The windows on the first floor consist of two three-light wooden casements and one central two-light casement. The ground floor has three segmentally headed wooden casements, with the one on the left incorporated into a late 20th-century outshot. The central door has six raised and fielded panels, original fittings and handles, and a Grotesque mask knocker, all within a moulded architrave with a flat, moulded hood. A catslide outshot projects to the rear, along with a late 20th-century hipped rear extension.
The interior retains large square inglenooks, stop-chamfered beams and joists (with run-out stops), with some later insertions. Other beams may indicate the presence of an earlier structure.
