Lower Court And Gatepiers Attached To Right

This is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from around 1707, with an addition from around 1825 and alterations or partial rebuilding around 1927 in an early 18th-century style. The ground floor is built of red and grey brick in a Flemish bond pattern, while the first floor is of red brick, also in Flemish bond. It has a plain tile roof. The building is two storeys high, with a galleted stone plinth. There’s a plat band and a modillioned wooden eaves cornice. The roof is hipped, and a filleted brick ridge stack is positioned towards the left end. The windows are irregularly placed, with five alternating two- and three-light casements. Four three-light casements with segmental heads are on the ground floor. The central door has six fielded and enriched panels, a bolection-moulded architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and an open-topped triangular pediment. A datestone inscribed "R R M 1707" is visible on the first floor. A two-storey, L-shaped rear wing extends to the right and bears a 1825 datestone. It's constructed of red and grey brick in Flemish bond, with a dentilled brick eaves cornice and a plain tile roof. There are four stacks, and two first-floor casements with segmental heads are visible on the left side and front side of the long left return. The interior has not been inspected. Rectangular brick gatepiers are set in a wall attached to the right side of the main range; they have old vertically-tooled rectangular stone caps with ball finials. A wall in front of the house has a datestone inscribed “M.V.G. 1927.” The building holds group value as an interesting example of mixed brickwork and detailing from different periods, with a strong connection to its agricultural past.
