Description

Northfield is a detached house built in the early 20th century, designed by architect Ernest Gimson. It features coursed squared and dressed limestone with a stone slate roof, and has a rectangular plan with an extension at the east gable end. The house is two storeys high and has a twin-gabled garden front with three windows. The windows include three and four-light stone-mullioned casements, with central king mullions on the ground floor's four-light casements. There are ventilation slits near the apex of each gable, and a gable dovecote above the ventilation slit on the left-hand gable.

The central entrance has a glazed door with glazing bars, set back within a three-bay portico, which features two-light wooden casements with leaded panes on either side. Timber uprights divide the bays of the portico, which is now glazed at the front. The entrance front has three gables, with a gabled projecting porch located off-centre to the left. The porch contains a studded plank door with a four-pane light, framed by a flat-chamfered 'Tudor'-arched surround. The house has lateral and axial stacks with moulded cappings and skirtings, and ball finials on the gables. The interior remains largely as originally built, including the original staircase with stick balusters.
