Oakfield

Oakfield is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a slate roof. The house has two storeys and an attic, standing upon a brick plinth. Architectural details include a plat band, a thin stone eaves band, and a plain parapet with a thin stone coping band. The end bays are of uneven length and slightly recessed. The roof is hipped to the left and right, with a central section also hipped. Rear stacks are located to the right and left of the central section, while a ridge stack is present in the left recessed bay. Five segmental-headed dormers light the attic space. The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of five recessed sash windows with splayed, rubbed brick voussoirs and stone cills. The central section features two 16-pane sashes and a 12-pane sash, with a single 12-pane sash in each recessed bay. Two canted bays with leaded roofs are present on the ground floor of the central section. A central recessed panel is half-glazed and panelled, with a segmental fanlight above. The doorcase is characterised by fluted Doric half-columns, a triglyphed frieze, and a flat hood. It is said that the doorcase covers a bootscraper dated 1820. The interior of the building was not inspected.
