Description
College Place, formerly known as T Aldridge and Son Scrap Metal Merchant, is a former farmhouse that has been adapted for use as a scrap metal dealer's premises. It dates from the early 17th century and is constructed of coursed rubble stone with stone dressings, topped by a gabled machine-tiled roof and featuring two ridge brick stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the farmhouse section facing the road and a projecting northeast wing at the rear.
The structure is two storeys high and has a three-window range along the road. There is an offset passage door, with the two upper windows being three-light mullions that include dripstones, along with a similar one-light window. The ground floor features two four-light mullions and another one-light window. The passage door is framed by a chamfered dressed stone surround with a dripstone above it. Inside, the northwest room in the roadside block contains an early 17th-century fireplace, which has an obtuse head and is adorned with three moulded orders, hollow spandrels, and stopped jambs. The northeast wing was originally a stable range but is now partially demolished.
