Description
This is an early 17th-century house, later used as offices, which was refaced and had a stair turret added around 1700. It was originally timber-framed. The front is now brick in a Flemish bond pattern, painted white, with brick stacks. A modern tile roof has been added. The house is arranged with a three-unit plan, over two storeys and an attic, with a six-window front. A cove forms the hood above the 20th-century front door, which is set in a beaded architrave to the left. Late 18th-century sash windows are above stone lintels, with two mid-19th-century sashes to the right of the front door. The house has a chamfered plinth, a brick storey band, and a moulded wood cornice. Three gabled attic dormers feature early 18th-century two-light casements with leaded windows. A gabled roof extends to the rear, where there are lateral brick stacks. A 20th-century extension is located at the rear. Inside, a 17th-century spice cupboard is situated above a chamfered bressumer, alongside a rear open fireplace and a winder staircase with twisted balusters at the base and vase balusters at the top. The first floor has timber-framed partitions in square framing, with similar framing exposed on a rear wall. The roof has a three-bay collar-truss structure with butt purlins. An early 18th-century bolection-moulded door is also present.
