Description

A large house of 2½ storeys consisting of a main range and two forward wings, rendered, with timber cornice and truncated pediments to the gable ends of the wings. Slate roofs with stone ridges. One mid-chimney on the main range; lateral chimneys to west of both forward wings and to north of the main range.

The east elevation to the lawn is now the main front. Six window range with windows irregularly spaced. Restored 12-pane sash windows above and below; the doorway (1959) in the fourth bay, with Tuscan columns and rounded floorless pediment. Arms and date in pediment. Three mid-height leaded-casement gabled dormers.

The south elevation is the original front, the right of the remaining two wings having been the centre wing of an E plan. These forward wings have at front a restored 12-pane sash window above, a 16 pane similar below. The left wing pediment has a two-light attic casement window, the right wing pediment has a large sundial. Overlooking the enclosed courtyard the left wing appears as a five window range (all 12-pane sash windows) with two dormers; the main range is of four similar windows; there is a hipped extruded staircase corner at the angle with the right wing; a single similar window and a lateral chimney to the right wing.

A long service range extends out at the west side. It is rendered, roofed in slate and angled slightly back. This range has a taller gabled wing at right forming a link to the house, with a clock in the apex. Two 24-pane sash windows above, segmental arch headed windows below. The rest of the service part is an irregular nine-window range with casement windows above and cross-windows below. The roof appears to be of M type.

In the adaptation of the house following the demolition of the east wing many internal alterations were carried out; best rooms sympathetically redesigned. The house contains two good staircases: a well staircase at the junction of the west wing, ex situ, with some reuse of Jacobean wainscot and a much repaired early C18 staircase in the extruded corner at left of what was the central (and is now the east) wing.
