Description
Cane End House is a house dating from the late 16th century, which was refronted in the early 18th century and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof with lead ridges and brick end stacks. The building is L-shaped, with two storeys and an attic, and has a six-window range. The central entrance has an 8-panelled door with a fanlight, flanked by 6-pane sash windows set in a Venetian window surround made of rusticated painted stone. The ground floor has four 12-pane sash windows, and there is a brick band between the ground and first floors. The first floor features six 12-pane sash windows and a dentil cornice at the eaves. The hipped roof has five full dormers with segmental open pediments and 6-pane sashes.
At the rear, the house has two storeys and an attic with a seven-window range arranged as three to the left and four to the right. The left side has a three-window range with 15-pane sashes on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes on the first floor, along with 6-pane sashes in the parapetted attic. To the right, there is a two-window return featuring a 20th-century French door on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes on the first floor, with a 6-pane sash to the left of the parapetted attic. The right side has a four-window range with two 10-pane sashes on the ground floor left, two 15-pane sashes on the ground floor right, two 8-pane sashes on the first floor left, two 12-pane sashes on the first floor right, and four 4-pane sashes in the parapetted attic. There are brick bands between the ground and first floors and between the first floor and attic. A 19th-century wing to the right is two storeys high with a two-window range, featuring two 12-pane sashes on the ground floor and one 12-pane sash on the first floor, along with a parapet to the roof and an angled bay window on the right-hand return.
Inside, the entrance hall has a dentil plaster cornice with a central motif. The dining room on the ground floor left and the main bedroom on the first floor right have what is likely 17th-century painted panelling. The staircase is a straight flight with a winder and a 20th-century balustrade. Photographs in the National Monuments Record show the house before its restoration around 1940.
