Description
This is a detached house, now used as estate offices. It dates to the 17th century, with additions made in the 1870s by Anthony Salvin. The building is constructed of alternate bands of brick and stone with flint, and has a tiled roof and brick stacks. It has a roughly L-shaped plan.
The main front is two storeys and an attic, with a five-window facade, the right-hand portion being the 1870s addition. There are two Tudor-arched doorcases with planked doors, one on each side of the front. Below are three 2-light mullioned windows with dripstones and relieving arches. The first floor has four cross windows, with a single 2-light chamfered mullioned window illuminating the staircase above the left door. There are two large attic gables with coped verges, each featuring a 3-light chamfered mullioned window to the left and a 2-light window to the right. A projecting wing to the left has a central Tudor-arched planked door, with a 2-light mullioned window either side, two cross windows to the first floor, a single large attic gable containing a 3-light mullioned window, and coped verges.
In the angle between the two wings stands a square clock tower with a cornice, a pyramidal tiled roof with louvred gablets, and a cross window. The left return of the wing has a 3-light mullioned window to ground level, a 3-light mullioned and transomed window to the first floor, and a 2-light mullioned window in the attic gable. A pair of diagonally-set stacks sits on the apex of this wing. The 19th-century return of the main range has 2-light mullioned windows to ground level, cross windows to the first floor, and a 2-light mullioned window to the attic.
The rear of the building features a 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed extension in the centre, with two 3-light mullioned and transomed windows to the first floor. The left part of the rear mirrors the appearance of the return. The two attic gables have one blocked 2-light mullioned window each and coped verges. Pairs of diagonally-set stacks are positioned on the apexes of the gables. The rear of the wing has a chamfered square-headed doorcase and a 3-light mullioned window on either side, along with relieving arches and dripstones. The first floor has a central cross window, flanked by 3-light mullioned and transomed windows either side. The left attic gable has a pair of diagonally-set stacks on its apex.
The interior was extensively altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, but retains a barrel-vaulted ground floor in the west wing.
