Description

This is a house, now used as offices, originally dating from the 17th century and significantly altered and extended around 1770. It is constructed of roughcast rubble stone with ashlar dressings and has stone tiled roofs. The property has end wall stacks and a ridge stack. The left side of the building is three storeys high, while the right side extension is two storeys high, but of equal height.

The original 17th-century range features a flush ashlar plinth and quoins. The right-hand extension has a projecting addition with flush quoins. Both ranges share an ashlar moulded cornice and parapet. The windows are sashes set in moulded architraves. The original range's ground floor has paired 12-pane sashes to the left, a single 12-pane sash to the right, and a central 6-panel door within a moulded doorcase topped with an ashlar Roman Doric pediment. The extension features a large upper 12-pane sash and a large ground floor paired 12-pane sash.

The rear of the extension is gabled and roughcast, with a sash window and a door. The original range has a roughcast gable to the left, with sashes to the attic and first floor, but a 2-light ovolo-moulded mullion window on the ground floor. A short rear wing extends to the right, with a stack at the end, roughly cast on the south side; it has a ground floor single light and a 2-light ovolo-moulded window. Beyond this projects an older rubble stone wing, truncated at the east end with 20th-century glazing and weatherboarding. The south side of this wing has a coped gable, a 2-light ovolo-moulded window with a hood, a first-floor ovolo-moulded blank window, a 3-light window, and a 2-light ovolo-moulded window, all with a drip-course. The ground floor features a hoodmould over a 2-light recessed cyma-moulded window, a chamfered doorcase with an inserted window, and steps down to a 2-light ovolo-moulded window.

Inside, the ground and first floors of the original range were altered in the 18th century, adding panelled doors and shutters. The staircase plan appears to be from the 17th century, but the arch is 18th-century. The attic contains a 17th-century Tudor-arched moulded fireplace. Exposed collar-truss roofs with two bays are present in the rear of the main range and rear wing. The right-side extension, dating to approximately 1770, has contemporary plaster cornices on the ground floor front and upper floor front and rear rooms. Both upper rooms contain original fireplaces.
