Description

House. Built in the early 18th century, with alterations in the late 18th century. The north-west front is constructed of red and vitreous brick with a moulded plinth, a first-floor band course, and moulded stone eaves. The south-east front is of vitreous brick headers with flush red brick quoins, a band course, and window surrounds. Both fronts have a similar plinth and eaves. The roof is of old tiles, with stone-coped gables, and flanking brick chimneys. The house is two storeys, attic, and basement, with five bays. The main storeys feature three-pane sash windows in architrave frames with gauged brick heads. There are three dormer windows with flat roofs, moulded cornices, and paired wooden casements, the central north-west dormer having a small barred sash. The basement has two windows to the north-west, the one on the right being blocked. The centre of the north-west front has a longer sash window to the first floor with intersecting glazing bars, and steps lead to a half-glazed door within a Ware doorcase featuring a blind radiating fanlight in an open dentil pediment on fluted Doric pilasters with a triglyph entablature. A half-glazed door with a rectangular fanlight is centrally located on the south-east side. Above this door is a canted oriel of wooden boards with a moulded cornice and round-headed sash windows with Y glazing bars and architrave frames. The house includes small, attached service blocks, each of one storey and attic, with moulded brick eaves and old tile roofs, paired barred wooden casements, and board doors. To the north-west, the door on the right has a Serlian stone window with a bonded central arch and moulded cornices over the flanking lights. The interior contains a central hall with a late 18th-century staircase.
