Description
Harrington House is a house dating from the early 17th century and early 18th century. It is constructed from limestone rubble with timber lintels, featuring an old plain-tile roof and brick stacks. The building is L-shaped, with two storeys plus attics. The front has two windows, including a 5-light casement to the right above a cellar window, an inserted bay window to the left, and 3-light casements at the first floor with diamond mullions. There is a central stack and a late 19th-century stack to the left, which serves a gabled tile-hung extension. The right gable wall includes a 3-light casement in the gable, while the side wall of the early 18th-century rear wing contains a stair window and additional old casements. The gable wall of the wing features a large projecting stone stack. Inside, there is an open fireplace, heavy joists, beams with ogee chamfer stops, a clasped-purlin roof with straight windbraces, and a winder stair leading to the attics.
