Description
House. Built in 1840 in Regency style, with a service wing added to the west around 1860 and the attic enlarged in the late 19th century. Rendered and painted with a hipped tiled roof. Two storeys and attics with 2 windows to the main part.
The principal north front features 12-pane sashes in reveals to the first floor and a tripartite projecting window to the ground floor left. The ground floor right has a doorcase with cornice and console brackets, a rectangular fanlight, and a 6-fielded panelled door. Blank rectangular panels appear above the first floor windows, with a stringcourse running across. A large double dormer dates to the late 19th century. A section of curved wall is attached to the right with tooled stone coping.
The east side has 2 tall chimneystacks and blank windows. The south side has 12-pane sashes with a canted bay to the ground floor right. On the west side, a round-headed staircase window is partially obscured by the circa 1860 one-storey service wing with a French window, which replaced a 19th-century window. The west elevation of the service wing has a large 20th-century window.
The interior contains a hall lobby with a stone floor featuring 'dots' and an original well staircase with 2 slender iron balusters to each tread and a mahogany handrail. The drawing room has a circa 1860 fireplace with pilasters and paterae. Some other fireplaces also date to circa 1860. The house retains a tiled floor and early 20th-century servants bells.
