Description

This is a late Georgian, three-bay house dating from the late 18th century, accompanied by a rear wing and a former coach house (The Mews), all set within a forecourt. The main house is two storeys with a basement, and its front facade is finished with white painted roughcast rendering. The roof is slate, with wide bracketed eaves and stone chimney stacks at each end. The front entrance is reached by steps leading to a veranda with wooden posts. The veranda features Tudor arches with diamond latticework to the spandrels and a plastered segmental tunnel vault; the original balustrade has been removed. The ground-floor windows are tall, 20-pane hornless sash windows positioned above basement lightwells. The upper-floor windows are 16-pane hornless sashes with hood moulds above. The right-hand gable end, originally intended as a shared wall with a neighboring property, features an external stone chimney stack.

The forecourt is enclosed by rubble-stone walls with slate copings. The left-hand wall steps down towards the house, and the right-hand wall slopes down. At the front, monolithic gate piers support a later gate, leading onto a slate-paved path and steps to the entrance.

A two-storey wing extends from the right side of the main house, while the former coach house (The Mews) is a lower two-storey building. The main range has 12-pane hornless sash windows on the upper storey, a 20-pane sash window to the left on the lower storey, and a boarded door and a 4-pane sash window in the basement. The wing retains a single 12-pane sash window on the upper storey, along with a replaced window on the right side, positioned above a recently added one-storey link to a previously detached stable. The coach house now has two former wide doorways, one infilled with a wide window and the other with French doors. An enlarged window is present on the right side of the upper storey, and a replacement window is located on the left. The gable end facing Bank Place has a blocked window.

The former stable building has a replacement door and window, along with a boarded loft door. It is connected to the main house by a yard wall featuring a boarded door, which abuts the rear left corner of the house.

The central entrance hall features a plaster cornice with egg-and-dart and bead-and-reel friezes, leading through an elliptical arch to the staircase, which is positioned on the left side and lit from above by a skylight. The open-well staircase has a wreathed handrail and scrolled ends to the treads. Shutters are fitted to the main rooms. The well-preserved basement retains many original features, including slate steps, flagstones, shelves, and dairy slabs.
