Description
This is a house, originally dating to around 1904, and now restored and converted into apartments. It is constructed of limestone ashlar to the front, with quoins and dressings on the rear wings, which are of rubble. The main block has a hipped slate roof, with stone slates to the rear and plain tiles elsewhere. Stone stacks are located on the front ridge, right return, and rear ridge of the hipped right wing. The architectural style is classical, with some Edwardian Baroque influences, and the building is arranged in a U-shaped plan.
The front facade is symmetrical with three bays, featuring a balustraded parapet, cornice, rusticated and chamfered quoins, and plate-glass sash windows with edge-roll mouldings. The central bay projects slightly, with pilasters on either side. A pediment, supported by Ionic columns, sits above French windows (the former main entrance), flanked by plain windows. A lintel-band and sill-band are visible, along with raised surrounds and keystones to the first-floor windows; the central window is stone-mullioned with three lights. The side ranges have tripartite windows with segmental pediments, keystones to each light, and panelled aprons below the sills. The right return, now the primary entrance facade, features a stack dated 1904 and a C20 Regency-style swept canopy with trellis supports and moulded architraves to three windows.
The rear wing continuation has a bracketed gutter and sill band, with a hipped roof to a single-storey canted bay. The gabled rear left wing has two windows. The rear of the main block shows a wide semicircular arch, now infilled, suggesting it was formerly used for stabling.
The interior retains some original joinery and panelled shutters, though the staircase was removed during alterations. A rubblestone wall, approximately 10 metres long and 3 metres high, is attached to the rear left wing, curving around a yew tree and sloping down to about 2 metres in height.
The site was previously occupied by a farmhouse called "Derrits" as shown on a 1773 map, and was the residence of Sir Henry Hastings Goldney.
