Description

House, said to have been built in 1760 for the Teage family, but substantially remodelled and extended in the early 19th century, with a further extension in 1840. The house is constructed of rendered stone rubble, with a bitumen-coated slate 2-span roof, gabled ends and stone coping to the parapets. Rendered end stacks have louvred white clay pots. The building has a double depth plan with two front rooms featuring bay windows and a verandah on the south front. The main entrance is on the left-hand side, leading to an axial passage and a large stairwell to the rear right. A 2-storey outshut is located behind the rear left-hand room, and a service wing is to the rear right, both dating from the early 19th century. A 3-storey tower was added in 1840 on the right-hand side. The late 18th century house likely had a central front entrance, and the present arrangement is the result of an early 19th century remodelling. In the 20th century, partitions were removed between the two front rooms and between the axial passage and the rear left-hand room.

The symmetrical 3-bay front has a parapet with pineapples over the rusticated corners. To the left and right are 2 wide 2-storey bows with early 19th century tripartite 8:12:8 pane sashes; the centre light of the ground floor right-hand bow is at a lower cill and serves as a garden door. A central first-floor early 19th century 12-pane sash is also present. A 19th-century verandah features quatrefoil-section posts and a lean-to metal sheet roof with a shaped valance and ogee section gutters at the eaves with lion mask joints. The left-hand entrance side has asymmetrical fenestration of circa late 19th century 12-pane sashes (one earlier 19th century) and a doorway to the right of centre, with a 20th-century porch and a tented copper clad roof. The rear elevation has a 2-storey outshut with a higher parapet to the west side and various 19th-century sashes. A 2-storey service wing is jettied on the first floor, with 19th-century sashes and external stone stairs at the gable end to the first-floor doorway. The right-hand (east) side features a large 3-storey tower with battlements and large 19th-century 2-storey sashes on each floor, without glazing bars; those on the east side have hoodmoulds, and the ground floor has three lights. Other windows on the east elevation are 19th-century 12-pane sashes.

The interior features marble and/or slate chimneypieces, and an open-well open string staircase with stick balusters and a mahogany hand rail wreathed over the column newel. Sanders was the residence of the Teage family from its construction in the 18th century until 1959.
