Description

Harringcourt House is a large house, likely dating back to the 16th or 17th century, with significant alterations from the early 18th century and later additions. The house is constructed with mass walls, featuring a mix of painted render and exposed painted stone rubble. It has a hipped slate roof, red brick chimney shafts with bands, and some remaining round, tapering terracotta chimney pots. Cast iron rainwater goods are also present.

The house is situated at a right angle to the road. The original layout may have consisted of three rooms and a cross passage, with the lower end and middle room heated by projecting lateral stacks. The front elevation is asymmetrical with five windows. It features a projecting open porch with octagonal columns and an entablature featuring a dentil frieze. A six-panel door with the top two panes glazed is located within the porch. A single light window with coloured glass is positioned to the right of the porch. A more recent 20th-century half-glazed door is situated to the right of centre, alongside a two-light casement window. A hornless sash window with 16 panes, dating from around 1800, is found on the first floor to the left of the porch, alongside a smaller horned sash window. Three two-light casement windows with small panes are spaced at the first floor level to the left of centre. A skylight is present in the roof.

The left return and garden elevation exhibits an early 18th-century coved eaves cornice and primarily narrow, three-light tripartite sash windows which lack horns or glazing bars. One window, located to the right of centre on this elevation, is a hornless sash with vertical margin panes.

The interior was not inspected, but it is likely to retain features of interest and the roof construction may be early.
