Restrop House

Restrop House is a house dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, with a significant extension added around 1910. It is constructed of limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys, an attic, and part of a cellar, designed in an E-plan layout with a central two-storey porch, one bay on either side, and projecting wings that are gabled at the rear. The right wing has been extended by a two-storey service block from the 17th century, while the left wing has a large extension added in the early 20th century.

The entrance is located under a round arch that has incised abaci and a key. Above the entrance, a continuous string rises over a central panel that displays the arms of Ashley Cooper, Lords Bolingbroke. The house features stone-mullioned and transomed windows, including a two-light window over the porch, four-light windows in the flanking bays, and three-light windows in the wings. The roofs are hipped at the front, with two small hipped dormers, and the stacks are centrally located on the wings.

Inside, there is a central stone-paved hall that opens up to the main parlour on the right, which includes a large moulded stone fireplace. To the left of the hall, a panelled partition leads to the drawing room, which also features a moulded stone fireplace and an oak carved overmantle. The right wing contains a fine dog-leg stair with turned balusters and a heavy moulded rail. Stone fireplaces can be found on the first floor, and the roof has butt purlins and tenoned collars. Various 17th-century three-plank doors are present throughout the house.
