Birchfield

Birchfield is a house dating from around 1800, featuring two storeys and an attic, with three bays facing east. It has a two-storey rear wing and is flanked by a pair of single-storey, three-bay cottages that create a U-shaped courtyard also facing east. The cottage to the south is connected to the main house by a single-storey quadrant that includes a bathroom extension, while the cottage to the north is detached.

The main house has a pinned granite frontage, squared granite on the gables and rear, and harled cottages with tooled granite dressings. The central entrance is concealed by a canted glazed porch, which includes a rectangular fanlight with geometric glazing. The house features three later flat-roofed dormers with multi-pane casements, as well as 12-pane and 4-pane sash windows elsewhere.

There are end stacks and predominantly local slate roofs. Inside, the main stairwell has slender turned pine balusters, and the ground floor drawing and dining rooms have pine panelled dados, doors, and window shutters, along with moulded pine doorpieces. The drawing room boasts a decorative plaster cornice and ceiling adorned with stylised corn, feather, and swag motifs.
