Description
Old Selson House is a house dating from the 15th century. It has a timber frame with some parts exposed and plaster infill, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high on a brick plinth, featuring a projecting two-storey jettied and hipped wing on the left side. The roof is hipped with gablets, and there are stacks located to the centre left and the end right. The projecting wing has one glazing bar sash window on each floor, while the main range has two wooden casement windows on each floor. There is a half-glazed door at the centre, accessed by a flight of three steps, which is framed by a pedimented surround. At the rear left, there is a brick-clad wing extending from the main structure.
