Description
Heritage House is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-18th century. The front is rendered, and it has a Cotswold stone roof with coped verges and corniced ashlar end chimneys. The building has a central through passage plan and is two storeys high with attics, featuring two gabled dormers. On the front, there are two windows: modern casements on the left and late 19th-century plate glass sashes on the right. The central entrance has a half-glazed door and a late 20th-century imitation stone gabled porch above it. A notable feature is a circular plaster panel located above the porch. To the right, there are two small stair lights. There is a lower two-storey wing to the right with one window on the first floor and two on the ground floor, all of which are two-light casements. At the rear, there are stopped chamfered timber lintels and visible tie beam ends. Inside, a newel stair leads from the first floor to the attic, and on the landing, there is a small display cupboard, possibly re-set, with a shell hood. One early 18th-century two-panel door remains intact.
