Flaxton House

Flaxxton House is a late 18th-century house with alterations from the late 19th century. It is constructed of brick in English bond, rendered to the street front, with stone quoins and a Westmorland slate roof, and features brick stacks. The house has a central entry with an outshut and a 19th-century service wing to the rear. The main part of the house is three storeys high and has three bays. The front door has six fielded panels and is set beneath a radial fanlight, contained within a doorcase with engaged Tuscan columns supporting a plain entablature. Flanking the door are two 19th-century canted bays with dentilled cornices and sash windows. The upper floors have four-pane arched sash windows with continuous bands at sill level. The roof has gable coping and shaped kneelers. There are end stacks. Inside, the original late 18th-century staircase in the front hall has slender turned balusters. Early 19th-century wrought-iron fireplaces are found in the first-floor bedrooms. The building is included in the listing for group value.
