Description

North House is a house with an 18th century front that conceals an older building. It features a central section that is three storeys high with five windows, constructed of red brick. Flanking this are two wings, each two storeys tall with one window, finished in stucco and accented with long and short quoins. The entire structure has a stringcourse above the first floor, a modillion eaves cornice, and a hipped tiled roof, with the original glazing bars still intact. The central doorway is adorned with Doric columns, a pediment, a semi-circular fanlight, and a door made of six fielded panels. A stone chimney breast is located on the north wall.
