The Bailiff'S Cottage And Gate Piers Attached

A late 18th-century cottage with attached gate piers, situated to the west of the former Stable range at Acrise Place. The cottage is built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with lighter brick dressings. It has a plain tile roof, a brick plinth, a brick eaves band, and a hipped roof with two rear dormers featuring hipped roofs. There are projecting brick gable-end stacks at the left and right front, and at the rear. The cottage is double-depth, of a central-entry plan, and has a cellar. The front facade is regular, with three windows, consisting of two three-light and one central two-light casements. The ground floor has two three-light casements with segmental heads. A central half-glazed door is set beneath a flat corniced hood with brackets, accessed by three steps. The rear has two boarded doors, also with segmental heads.

Inside, the entrance corridor has a brick floor. Each ground-floor room features two chamfered axial beams. Small brick fireplaces with segmental heads are present throughout. A dog-leg staircase rises from the ground floor to the attic at the rear, featuring moulded balusters and a rectangular newel.

The attached wall, approximately 10 metres in length, runs south from the south-east corner of the Bailiff’s Cottage, curving east before terminating in a rectangular pier. This pier has a stone plinth and a stone ball finial.
