Detillens House

Detillens House is a house dating from the 15th century, with a front added in 1736. It is a timber-framed hall house featuring a red brick front and a partially obscured hipped plain tiled roof with end gablets. The house has an offset end stack to the left and end stacks to the right and rear. It stands two storeys high and has brick plat bands over both the ground and first floors. The front has seven bays with 18-pane glazing bar sash windows in flush frames, all under gauged heads. The window in the sixth bay on the first floor is blocked and painted to imitate the others. There is a glazed door to the right of centre, set in a moulded architrave surround that breaks up over the door to form a pedestal for a vanished statue. Flanking Doric pilasters support a pulvinated frieze above and a crowning segmental pediment. The right-hand return front features two gables, with tile hanging on the first floor to the right and casement windows. Inside, there are fine Tudor-style fireplaces with stone surrounds in both ground and first-floor rooms, which are also panelled. A moulded octagonal crown post is supported on a massive tie beam on the first floor, with the ceiling frame visible.
