Description
An early 19th-century house of classical design, built symmetrically with three bays, and extended in the mid-19th century by single-bay flanking wings. The house is harled, with painted ashlar dressings. The central entrance features a recessed panelled door set within a wide, pilastered doorcase. The windows are 12-pane sash windows with chamfered margins. Pilaster strips mark the corners of the house, and a continuous eaves course, cornice, and blocking course run along the roofline, topped by a central wall-head pediment containing a blind oculus. Straight skews, end stacks, and a slate roof complete the roof. The flanking wings were originally single-storey, but the north wing was later raised by one storey. They now feature canted windows, an eaves course, cornice, blocking course and piended slate roofs. The south wing returns eastwards, displaying two large multi-pane sashes and a gable to the right. The house and its flanking wings are all depicted on the 1855 Ordnance Survey map.
