Description
Tansor House is a house that likely dates back to the 17th century, with a datestone marking the year 1721. It has undergone alterations in the early and mid-19th century. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a Collyweston slate roof. Originally, it probably had a two-unit plan but now has an L-shape. The house is two storeys tall with an attic and has a main front that consists of a three-window range.
On either side of the main front are two-storey canted bay windows with unhorned sashes and glazing bars. There is a central sash window on the first floor, which is set under a stone lintel. The central doorway, now blocked, features a moulded stone surround with a cornice. The exterior includes a chamfered plinth, a raised band between the storeys, and a moulded cornice. There are also a pair of hipped roof dormers, ashlar gable parapets, kneelers, and truncated ashlar stacks at the ends. The right gable has an oval datestone in the apex.
The rear wing, located to the right, likely originates from the 17th century and has two leaded casements on the first floor, which are set under wooden lintels, as well as a 19th-century tripartite sash window on the ground floor, also under a wooden lintel. There is a 20th-century door and porch to the left. The pair of roof dormers with leaded casements contain some early glass.
Inside, the kitchen in the rear wing features a large open fireplace with a bressumer. The mid-19th century staircase is said to retain 18th-century turned balusters.
