Description

House, now divided into three houses. Dating to the early 19th century, it forms the east wing of Casterton Hall, situated on the west side of the A683 road. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, with the service wing of rubble stone, and features hipped slate roofs. The south facade is two storeys and five bays, with a single-storey, five-bay former orangery attached to the right. A first-floor sill band and top frieze run along the facade, topped by a cornice and parapet; the orangery has a cornice and coped parapet. Sashed windows with glazing bars are present throughout. The central entrance has a bowed porch supported by two unfluted Doric columns and half-columns, a frieze, a modillioned cornice and a blocking course. Flanking windows surround the entrance, and features an architrave over a six-panel door with an overlight. The orangery features a Tetrastyle Doric portico mirroring the porch design, and contains 20-pane sashed windows with six-panel doors, each with panels above. Lateral and cross-axial stacks are visible, with moulded caps. The west facade bows in a three-bay design at the centre, flanked by further bays. Ground-floor windows have consoled cornices, and niches with blind bays incorporate blind windows above. The rear facade is of a similar five-bay design. A two-bay service wing extends north from the orangery, with a three-bay return wing to the east. Windows in the service wing have flat arches, and are primarily sashed with glazing bars, with some being paired. The return wing includes a segmental-arched carriageway, a small lean-to extension, and a rear elevation featuring a casement window within an elliptical-arched opening. Three cross-axial stacks are present on this wing. The interior features plaster cornices and stone fireplaces. A stone flying stair has reeded balusters and an oval lantern above, while the landing has round-headed openings and a pedimented first-floor door. A dining room incorporates a niche with festoons. There is also a vaulted strong room.
