Description
This is a small country house, likely dating back to around 1740, with later 18th-century additions and 20th-century remodeling. The house is constructed of brick with an old plain tile roof. The main block is five bays wide by five bays long, and features full-height bays added in the late 18th century. The north front, now three bays wide, is two storeys high with an attic, and sits on a raised basement. A central doorway is accessed by a wide double staircase of stone with a wrought iron balustrade featuring scrollwork. The door itself is a 18th-century six-panel design, topped with a semi-circular fanlight within a doorcase of engaged Corinthian columns, a broken entablature, and an open pediment. On either side of the doorway are full-height bays added in the late 18th century. The basement has casement windows, while the upper floors have 18th-century twelve-pane sash windows with rubbed brick arches. Horizontal string courses, a moulded cornice sitting on raised brickwork, and a panelled parapet define the exterior. The roof is a hipped mansard with a central valley, and symmetrical chimneys are located behind the ridge. The interior was remodeled in the 20th century. A screen wall attached to the left end of the house rises up to the house, curving and featuring piers and panels with rubbed brick arches. An 18th-century internal door, originally used elsewhere, now serves as a doorway within this screen wall.
