Fairfield House

Fairfield House is a Grade II listed Regency house built in 1821. It features a stucco exterior with joint marks and a low-pitched hipped slate roof that has wide plain eaves. The building has two symmetrical two-storey facades. The south-west facade includes bow-shaped projections on either side and a central section with three windows above, one of which is a door. The ground-floor windows are sashes set in reveals, reaching down to terrace level. A notable feature is the verandah with a large concave metal roof, supported by cast-iron columns on a raised paved terrace, where the centre has coupled supports linked by decorative ironwork.

The south-east (entrance) front has four upper windows and two lower windows, with the verandah continuing and ending in decorative trellis work. The middle of the verandah is interrupted by a wide porch, which is of a later date and designed in the Greek Doric Order. This porch has coupled fluted columns at the front and pilasters on each side of a wide opening that features a slender framework, including four slender reeded pilasters, enclosing side windows and coupled doors, each with three panels. Above the porch is a plain wrought-iron balcony rail, and the porch itself projects forward from the stone-flagged terrace. The north-east elevation is plain, with some blank openings, while the north-west side contains lower service wings, part of which date from the early 19th century and the remainder from the mid 19th century.
