Masongill House

Masongill House is a house dating from around 1780, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. It features a rendered exterior with millstone grit dressings and a stone slate roof. The house has a central staircase plan and presents a garden front that is two storeys high with three bays. The central entrance is within a wooden trellised porch that has a plain surround and a nine-panel door, with a blocked fanlight above. The flanking ground floor windows and the outer two upper floor windows are two-light flat-faced mullioned windows, while the central upper floor window is a single light window with sash frames. The building has chamfered quoins and a moulded modillioned eaves cornice, likely from the mid-19th century, which is interrupted in the center by a round-headed dormer window with a fixed light, featuring an open pediment supported by scrolled brackets and topped with a ball finial, also likely from the mid-19th century. The house has large kneelers and ball finials, as well as projecting gable end ridge stacks.

In the mid-19th century, the house was enlarged by adding a flanking one-storey, one-bay pavilion that projects forward and is constructed of ashlar. Each wing has a large window with a moulded surround, and pilasters support an open pediment. The projecting eaves reveal exposed purlins. The left-hand return features a canted bay window with sash frames. The rear of the house was refronted in the mid-19th century and includes a gabled porch from around 1860, which has a chamfered round head, an open pediment, and a ball finial. The entrance has a chamfered surround and a four-panel door, with the upper two panels glazed in Gothic revival style, and similar but blind tracery above.

Inside, there is a dog-leg staircase with an open string, stick balusters, and a ramped handrail.
