Church House And Wall To East

This is a mid-18th century house with earlier origins, situated on The Common in Nun Monkton, alongside a low garden wall. The house is constructed of brick in English bond, with a pantile roof. It has a central-hallway entry with a cross wing to the rear, and includes a cellar and two storeys. A casement window is visible in the cellar at the right, and a six-panel door is set within steps, above a divided overlight. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, set within rubbed brick surrounds, and all are topped with elliptical arches. A first-floor band runs around the building. The gables are raised with brick kneelers, tumble-in to the lower part of the gable ends, and terminate with coping at the apex. End stacks are present.

Inside, a basket-arched timber door frame is incorporated into the back passage wall, and two steeply-pitched roof timbers visible within the wall of a first-floor room indicate an earlier origin for the house. The drawing room features fine mid-18th century fielded panelling and a contemporary fireplace with a double mantelpiece. A closed string dogleg staircase has slender column-on-vase balusters. A wall approximately 1 metre in height runs along the front of the property.
