Description

Perridge House is a country house that dates from the 17th century, with late 18th century additions and further work completed in 1909. The building is constructed from coursed and squared rubble, featuring dressed stone quoins, coped verges with brick cappings, and brick parapets, particularly notable on the west side with a moulded coping. The house has predominantly ashlar stacks with moulded caps and a slate roof, forming a U-plan layout with a later addition in the well between the wings.

The garden frontage is basemented and consists of two storeys with attics, displaying a symmetrical arrangement of two, two, and one bays. The outer bays are topped with front-facing gables. On the left, there are two two-light stone mullioned windows beneath stopped labels, dating from around 1909. The central two bays are stepped forward and feature 12-pane sash windows with marginal lights and 4-centred heads in bead-moulded stone surrounds on the first floor, while the ground floor has French windows in a similar style. The right bay includes a weathered string at the ground floor, a three-light ovolo moulded stone mullioned window under a label on the first floor, and a three-light casement in an ovolo moulded stone surround on the ground floor, along with a two-light casement to the gable face, also with a stone surround and stopped label.

At right angles to the right of the frontage is a late 18th or early 19th century billiard room, which is single-storey and consists of two bays. It features 12-pane sash windows with marginal lights in bolection-moulded stone surrounds, along with a central door opening that has paired three-panelled doors, the top two panels of each being glazed, set within a dressed stone surround with a 4-centred head. The interior showcases much work in the Gothick style, particularly in the billiard room, which boasts fine ornamental plasterwork and a fireplace.
