Description

Regency-style symmetrical 3 bay front, 2 storeys and an attic. The central bay is advanced and open pedimented with billet moulding. Whitened brick under a slate roof with 2 brick end stacks. Six-panelled front door and overlight with radial glazing, within a moulded door case with small lead canopy. Above is a sash window renewed in PVC-U, and in the attic gable, a lunette window with radial glazing. The N and S bays have a 20-pane tripartite sash window to each storey. The windows are under flat arches with gauged brickwork and splayed ends, and have stone sills.

There are 3 parallel wings to the rear, all of brick under slate roofs and with 2 brick eaves stacks. The N wing is the widest and they get smaller towards the S. Plain barge boards. The central wing has a wide 2-storey canted bay window with hipped roof and tall axial stack. Sash windows, of 12 panes to the bay, and 6 or 9 panes elsewhere. C20 French windows to ground storey of N wing under a segmental brick arch. From the N wing, a single storey range projects northwards and has a C20 multi-pane casement in the gable end.

The front range is in 3 bays; a hall in the central bay with flanking reception rooms. Detail includes ornate moulded plasterwork to cornices and spine beams, and panelled shutters. Remains of the former sub-medieval house survive in the rear wings. The N range incorporates a bake oven complex; a curved wall with 3 recesses containing a washing area, a bakeoven and a fireplace. The opposite side of the stack (in the current kitchen and N wing) has a blocked fireplace with substantial lintel. This room contains massive deeply chamfered spine and cross beams, and subsidiary joists all with ogee stops.
