Grove House Farm

Grove House Farm is a farmhouse built around 1840. It features red brick in a Flemish-type bond and has a slate roof. The building stands two storeys tall with a cellar and has no plinth, but a flush red and grey brick base in English bond on the front elevation. The roof is hipped and there is a plain stone-coped parapet. The front has a regular three-window arrangement with recessed twelve-pane sash windows, which have splayed painted rubbed brick voussoirs. The ground floor has similar windows. The central door is recessed, consisting of four flush panels and two top lights, and is accessed by seven steps. It is framed by an architrave with semi-elliptical pilasters that have a horizontal channel towards the tops, channelled rectangular paterae, a plain frieze, and a flat corniced hood. At the rear, there are two short pebble-dashed wings with gabled slate roofs. The interior has only been partly inspected; the left ground-floor room features panelled shutters and a reeded architrave with paterae at the window, along with a similar doorcase. The entrance hall contains an open-well staircase with stick balusters, a wreathed rail inlaid with ivory, scrolled cheeks to the risers, and reeded skirting along the wall.
