Freeland House Attached Front Garden Walls Piers And Basement Area Railings

Freeland House, now a pair of attached houses, was originally built in the early 19th century and extended in the mid-19th century. It is rendered with limestone dressings, has gable stacks, and a double-pile pantile roof. The building follows a double-depth plan and is in a late Georgian style. It is two storeys and has a basement, with a four-window front. The symmetrical three-window front has pilasters topped with a moulded coping that breaks out to the pilasters, with a projecting section to the left. A Tuscan porch features an entablature with outer stars and a central panel, a bracketed cornice, and wrought-iron pointed-arch railings above. The semicircular-arched doorway has a raised surround with imposts, a batswing fanlight, and a six-panel door with flush lower panels. The windows are 8/8-pane sashes. The left-hand block, with a parapet, has a doorway with moulded consoles to a cornice and a two-panel door, with a semicircular-arched sash window above. Inside No. 22, the central hall has a staircase with stick balusters, column newels, a ramped rail, reeded architraves with corner roundels, six-panel doors, and panelled shutters. The property includes attached walls built of squared limestone rubble, which curve around the front garden and ramp up to rhomboid ashlar gate piers, along with cast-iron gate posts and gates. Also attached are wrought-iron railings enclosing the front basement area.
