Gomms

House, dating to circa 1812 with 19th-century alterations. The construction is red brick with blue brick headers, topped by a slated roof with lead ridges. It is a three-bay by three-bay building with a one-bay by two-bay wing and a bay window added to the left side. The front elevation is two storeys and three bays. The central entrance features a 19th-century four-panelled door, where the top panel is large and all panels have rounded corners, above a plain semi-circular fanlight within a gauged brick arch. Large twelve-pane sash windows are located either side of the door, each with a gauged brick arch. On the first floor, two wide nine-pane sashes are placed either side of a narrower one, also with gauged brick arches. The front facade is designed to give the impression of giant pilasters at the ends and either side of the door, achieved with vertical strips of four brick at the ends and two columns of blue headers in the centre, rising to a cornice of four courses of blue headers. The wide, overhanging eaves incorporate single modillion brackets. The low-pitched roof is "nipped", and stacks are present on the eaves behind the ridge, with decorated chimney pots to the return ridges. The house was built for his sister by Field Marshal Gomm, who fought at Waterloo.
