Description
Place House is a large house dating from the early 19th century. It features solid rendered walls and a hipped slated roof, with rendered chimneys. The building is designed in a four-square layout with a service wing to the right. It stands two storeys high and is three windows wide at the front, with two additional windows in the wing and a four-window side elevation to the left. The front entrance has a half-glazed door with flush lower panels, panelled reveals, and a moulded architrave, topped by a flat late 19th-century hood. The windows are fitted with moulded architraves, bracketed sills, and six-paned sashes, while the upper storey windows at the front are boarded. There is also a secondary door and two French windows in the side elevation. The deep eaves cornice features paired brackets.
Inside, Place House has a nearly complete set of marble chimneypieces, moulded cornices, and panelled doors and shutters. The wooden staircase has a narrow open well, thin square balusters, and shaped step-ends.
