Description
This is a late 18th-century farmhouse, with alterations and extensions in the early 19th century and a further extension in the late 19th century. The main house is built of red and cream brick in Flemish bond, standing on a herringbone-tooled sandstone plinth, with a pantile roof. A later red and burnt brick extension, in English garden wall bond, has a slate roof. The house has a central-stairhall plan with two rooms deep, and includes a service extension.
The front entrance has two storeys and a basement, featuring three windows with a lower, two-storey, two-window extension to the right. The front door consists of six raised and fielded panels, beneath a radial fanlight set within an open-pedimented doorcase with coved, fluted capitals. A plank cellar door is recessed below ground level to the left. The windows are 16-pane sashes with painted stone sills and flat arches of gauged brick. Coped gables and end stacks are present. The extension has 20-pane sashes to the ground floor and unequal 15-pane sashes to the first floor, also with painted stone sills and flat arches. A central ridge stack and an end right stack pierce a hipped roof.
The garden front features a two-storey, three-window arrangement with a lower two-storey extension to the left. A round-arched doorcase, with a keystone, imposts, and cornice hood supported on grooved consoles, provides access via a short flight of steps. The door has six raised and fielded panels beneath a blind Gothick fanlight. Above the door is a round-headed, Gothick-glazed sash window set within a gauged brick arch, with a painted stone sill resting on the door cornice. Remaining windows are 16-pane sashes with painted stone sills and flat arches of gauged brick. The extension has only two small fixed lights, one to the ground and one to the first floor. Gable ends feature paired 12-pane sashes recessed beneath cambered brick arches.
Inside, a cut-string dogleg staircase has stick balusters, a moulded handrail ramped up and wreathed at the foot around a column newel, and scrolled tread ends. All main rooms on both floors retain moulded ceiling cornices and original chimney-pieces; those on the ground floor have composition mouldings. Doors of six raised and fielded panels are also original throughout. The attic reveals two double-tiered trusses with curved principals, possibly reused crucks. In the westernmost bay, three boxed bedframes remain against the outer wall.
Attached to the left end of the entrance front is a garden wall built of red brick in English garden wall bond, rising to approximately three metres high and raked up against the house. It has pantile coping on the flat section and stone coping on the raked-up section.
