Description

This is a late 18th-century farmhouse, with later additions and alterations. It is a 2-storey, 3-bay rectangular house designed with Palladian influences, accompanied by single-storey pavilions on either side. The southern elevation is constructed of stugged ashlar with dressed margins in droved ashlar. The northern elevation uses sandstone rubble with polished ashlar dressings, featuring broadly droved ashlar tails. The pavilions are similarly constructed with sandstone rubble and polished ashlar dressings. The house features a base course, eaves course, raised long and short quoins.

The southern elevation is symmetrical, with a glazed front door at the centre, topped by a radial fanlight and a consoled pediment crafted from polished ashlar. A window sits above the door on the first floor, and there is a window in each of the flanking bays on both floors. The pavilions are set back symmetrically, each featuring Venetian windows at ground level and tripartite thermae to the gablehead, with blinded side lights. The eastern pavilion also has a glazed door incorporated into the linking wall.

The northern elevation shows a single-storey addition, built of squared and snecked sandstone with droved dressings, and extended forward with a polished ashlar porch. The porch has a timber cornice and a 9-panelled door with a moulded architrave, flanked by round-arched windows. There are two windows to each side of the porch on the ground floor. A round-arched stair window is centrally placed on the first floor, flanked by windows in each bay. Originally, the pavilions mirrored the southern elevation, but the western pavilion now has a modern garage door.

The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case style. The roof is piended and covered in slate, with 19th-century 2-pane rooflights. Ashlar coped wallhead stacks are positioned at the east and west ends. Each pavilion has a slate roof with its own ashlar coped stack.

The interior was not inspected in 1996.

A rubble boundary wall runs along the north side of the property, adjacent to the road, with rubble coping. Square-plan sandstone gatepiers with pyramidal coping are located northwest of the house. Rubble quadrant walls lead to the northeast, with ashlar coping and square-plan coped gatepiers marking a pedestrian entrance. An outbuilding, now a garage (as of 1996), is situated adjacent to the northwest gate and is rectangular in plan, featuring vents near the ridge on the west and east sides of the slate roof.
