Description

This is a small country house with an attached west range, likely dating back to the late 18th century and undergoing alterations and additions through the 19th century. The house is constructed of roughcast and rubble stone with slate roofs and stone stacks. The main building has a roughly square plan that has developed over time.

The southern front is asymmetrical, with a hipped roof, end stacks, and projecting centre entrance gable. It features a four-window arrangement, with a two-window range of 12-pane sashes to the right and a pair of broad 20-pane sashes with marginal glazing bars to each floor on the left. Stone sills and cambered arches are visible throughout. A first-floor sill course runs along the facade. The centre gable has 20th-century bargeboards, an attic lunette with intersecting Y-tracery, and a large arched window on the first floor with a radiating bar head. The central entrance has a 9-panel door with an intersecting Y-tracery fanlight, contained within a mid-19th century timber doorcase with an earlier 19th-century open pediment, the pilasters of which were replaced in the late 19th century. The asymmetrical southern facade suggests alterations or an extension around 1840-50 to an earlier 19th-century building. A tall arched stair-light is visible in the rear wall gable.

The attached west range is dated 1796 and is lower in height than the main house. It is roughcast with end stacks, and has irregularly spaced windows of varying widths, suggesting a complex building history. The windows are primarily 12-pane sashes, except for one broader window with margin lights. All ground floor windows have margin lights. A half-glazed door and an additional window are located to the right of the second bay.

On the north end wall, rubble stone indicates a former outshut that was raised to two stories. A three-window, two-story rubble store range, likely added between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, extends beyond. The north-facing front of this range mirrors the appearance of the main house with 12-pane sashes. It has a 20-pane sash on the ground floor left, a six-panel fielded door with an overlight in the centre, a large triple casement on the right, and stone voussoirs to the cambered heads of the windows. A stone stack is located on the east end, and a door on the first floor. The rear of this range features an arched former stair light.

An area between the three main fronts contains a pair of gables, approximately dated 1870-80, with the one on the left being larger than the one on the right, appearing to have been built in sequence. Sashes in these gables have marginal glazing bars, with brick window heads and bargeboards.

The oldest part of the property is probably the range dated 1796, which contains large oak cross-beams to the ground floor and a large cambered timber lintel over the fireplace at the north end, suggesting that the 1796 date marks an alteration rather than original construction. The southern front range has interior details from the mid-19th century, including a stick baluster staircase, plaster cornices, and panelled shutters. A late 18th-century style wood fireplace is located in the ground floor west room. The c.1870 range includes a library with a panelled ceiling and notched surrounds to windows and doors. Notably, the servants’ staircase is doubled, connected to a private staircase from the library leading to a small upstairs room that was once used as a chapel. The north-facing service wing has a large fireplace on its east end.
