Capton House

Capton House is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with the upper floor rebuilt in the early 19th century and extensive alterations made in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of red sandstone random rubble, with some areas rendered, and features a modern slate roof with coped verges. There are stone stacks at the gable ends and a brick stack rising from the eaves between the first and second bays on the left.

The layout consists of three cells and a cross passage, with a modified plan that includes a two-storey porch, a stair turret at the rear, and a gabled rear wing. The house is two storeys high and has a facade with three bays on the left and one bay on the right. All the windows in the facade are from the 20th century. The first floor features two-light casements to the left of the gabled two-storey rendered porch, which has a finial and kneelers. There is a two-light hollow chamfered mullion window under a square hood mould, a similar three-light window to the right, and on the ground floor, there is an arched opening to the porch flanked by French windows on the left, with a single-storey one-bay gabled projection beyond. The outer bays have two-stage stepped buttresses.

A photograph of Capton House taken in 1957 shows it without the hollow chamfered stone mullioned windows. The interior has been modernised.
