House To The Rear Of Mansion House Inn House To The Rear Of The Mansion House Inn

This building is a house located behind the Mansion House Inn, dating from the mid-18th century and mid-19th century. It is constructed of Flemish-bond brick and partly of uncoursed local rubble, topped with a mansard pantile roof. The main block features brick coping and brick stacks at the gable ends. The house has a two-unit plan with a taller 19th-century wing on the left side, standing two storeys high with an attic.

The main block has a symmetrical two-window arrangement. It includes a six-panel door with a hood, likely from the 20th century, flanked by flat gauged brick arches over early 19th-century 8/8-pane sash windows. Above these, there is a three-course brick platband and three flat gauged brick arches with stone keystones over 6/6-pane sashes, some of which contain old glass, alongside a blind window on the first floor.

The ground floor of the left wing has continuous brick coursing with the main house and appears to have been raised, indicated by a vertical joint above the mid-19th century. The left window features a segmental arch with a keystone, while a flat gauged brick arch is above a fixed three-light plate-glass window, with a late 18th-century 6/6-pane sash above it. The gabled left return has a limestone rubble panel at the centre with a round segmental brick arch leading to a planked door. To the right of the first floor, there is a segmental relieving arch over a timber lintel for a 19th-century two-light casement window, with a similar but smaller window above in the attic.

Inside, the room to the right on the ground floor is now part of the Mansion House Inn, while the room to the left features a simple 18th-century wood surround for the fireplace on the left wall, a planked door to the stairs in the rear wall, and steps leading down to a brick-floored service area where an open fireplace backs onto that of the adjoining room. The first floor has a wide planked partition screen at the landing and two raised-and-fielded two-panel doors, with other doors being planked. The attic is plastered over straw, and the late 19th or 20th-century roof lacks principal rafters but includes some random diagonal braces.
