Description
Oakfield is a house, possibly dating back to the late 17th century, with significant remodelling in the mid-18th century. An early 19th-century rear wing was added, alongside mid-19th and 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of rubble, rendered in parts, with a limestone bay, and has a pantiled roof featuring raised coped verges and gable stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape.
The front, originally a gable end, features a two-and-a-half-storey gable to the left, containing two windows. These are sash windows with two small fixed lights in the attic, each comprised of 12 panes. To the right is a lower two-storey wing with a 16-pane sash window on both the ground and first floors. A round-headed door opening to the left has a six-panelled door and a fanlight with splayed glazing bars.
The left return showcases a two-storey canted bay to the right. This bay has fielded panels set in stone above ground floor level, a dentil cornice, and a parapet. It contains plate-glass sashes with a wider central pane. Ground and first floor windows to the left are sashes with wider central panes. The first floor has a similar, smaller sash. A central rooflight and bellcote are also present. A single-storey outhouse, unrendered and with a pyramidal roof, is attached to the left.
The right return shows a two-span roof to the rear wing. The ground floor to the right features two sashes, while the first floor has a single sash. A lower single-storey wing to the right has a 20th-century two-light casement.
The rear gable end to the right has two attic lights and, on the first floor to the left, two sashes in the wing, alongside a sash on the ground floor to the right. A wing to the left has a pitched roof hidden behind a parapet and a 20th-century two-light casement and door. An outhouse to the right, attached by a covered way, has a window opening with a brick segmental head and iron stanchions.
The left return was likely originally the front of the house. The interior of the property has not been inspected.
