Description

House. Built in the early 18th century, with a date of 1719 marked on the rainwater head. The house is constructed of yellow brick, although the bay on the left has been rebuilt using red brick with grey headers. It has a plain tiled roof, hipped in shape, with tall brick stacks at the ends. The house is two storeys high with an attic, and has two dormers with segmental heads behind a parapet. Features include a plinth, cornice bands above the ground and first floors, and a coped panelled parapet – plain above the left-hand bay. There are six bays, with a slightly irregular appearance as the bay furthest to the left is more widely spaced, and has no window on the ground floor. The windows are glazing bar sashes, with gauged heads and moulded cills. The main entrance is a six-panel door, with reveals and a wreathed fanlight radiating outwards, in the fourth bay from the right. A porch, supported by detached Ionic columns and a flat entablature, fronts the door. Low spear-headed railings surround a shallow forecourt to the front, on both sides of the door, although the railings to the left do not extend to the end of the front.

The interior features a hall with early 18th-century fielded panelling. A buffet is situated to the left of the fireplace which has an egg and dart moulding and an acanthus frieze to the cornice of the mantel shelf. A two-flight return staircase has a long lower flight, an uncut string, open ramped rail, columnar newel posts, turned balusters with square knops, and a panelled dado; this is likely from around 1710. The dining room has fielded panelling from around 1730 and a late 18th-century fireplace with drop decoration, a swag panel with an urn, and a fluted frieze. There is an arched doorway with a volute bracket keyblock. The study contains circa 1700 fielded panelling and a blocked fireplace with a rained overmantel. Most rooms on the first floor have early 18th-century fielded panelling and fireplaces. The rear extensions contain plainer 19th-century interior features.
