Description
Painted brick with slate roof. End wall and axial stacks with yellow brick and stone caps, and moulded (painted) terracotta eaves cornice (both belonging to the later C19 work). 2 storeys with attics, 7-window range. Entrance in main range between two advanced wings faces E, with short 3- window range continuing the main building line beyond the right hand wing. Left hand cross wing has hipped roof with gabled dormer to front and rear: 9-pane sash window and ornate fretted bargeboards. Paired 4-pane sash windows (flush framed in moulded architraves with flat arched heads) on each floor below. Plain string course between ground and first floors, and a similar band in the rear elevation. Entrance in main range recessed between the two wings: 6-panelled doorway with flat arched head, flanked by narrow side lights with sash windows; 12-pane sash window above the entrance. Projecting right hand wing is a C19 addition: it has a single 12-pane sash window on each floor, and hipped roof. The original main range continues to the right, with a wide 12-pane sash window, and an 8-pane sash window to ground floor, and 3x8-pane sashes above, all flush framed and with flat arched heads. In the rear elevation, the cross wing to the S, and the N bay both appear to be C18 and have raised string courses, while the central section appears to be a later reconstruction from the partial remodelling of the house in the C19.
The S wing retains two early C18 rooms to the ground floor: E room is fully furnished with painted wall panelling with heavily moulded raised panels, dado rail and cornice: transverse beam also panelled. Corner fireplace with fluted pilasters and lugged panelled overmantle; panelled window shutters. W room also has corner fireplace with fluted pilasters and heavy raised panelled overmantle; heavy moulded plaster cornice, and reeded plasterwork to transverse beam. Ceiling has raised plaster motifs (a bird, a fish and two branches) in each corner. 'Gun room' at N end of house is also fully panelled in a style similar to that in SE room, and including a bolection moulded fireplace. C19 staircase (in C18 style) in central hall.
