Description

The property is a house, likely dating to the 18th century, with a later front range. The main block is double-pile, and has been rebuilt with red brick end stacks to the front. The front range is taller than the rear portion, and the stairs were probably inserted into the rear range at a later date. The front elevation has five bays, featuring 15-pane hornless sash windows with stone sills. A prominent timber Palladian window is centrally positioned, with pilastered corniced side-lights and an arched top of radiating bars on the upper sash. The recessed front door has four panels and an overlight, sheltered by a large timber shelf hood supported by long scrolled brackets. The roof is slate, and includes two gabled dormers with uPVC windows. A two-storey, two-window addition in a 20th-century style is set back to the right, aligned with the longer rear range. The left end features a double gable with windows to the right of centre, illuminating the spine passages of the front range. A further window on the ground floor to the left illuminates a room containing a stone vault.

The rear elevation has been modified with the replacement of 12-pane wooden sash windows with uPVC. It is arranged in five bays across the main block, with a slightly lower two-bay section to the left. A door is centrally located on the main part of the rear, and a large stairwell window is placed in the fourth bay. The attic has four windows breaking through the eaves under the gables, with a slightly lower sill above the stairwell window. The lower section to the left has a single dormer, and a rebuilt end stack.

The interior has been altered in the 20th century and is under restoration. A central entry hall leads to principal rooms on either side, accessed by fielded panelled doors. Fielded panelled shutters are present throughout. The room to the left contains a timber late 18th-century Adam-style fireplace with tapering piers, decorated with ox-skull, husk-drop, urn, and sphinx motifs; it may have been brought in from elsewhere. The room to the right and the central hall have also been altered. To the rear is a spine passage leading to a fine, early to mid 18th-century staircase, akin to that at Camrose House, with turned balusters (three per tread), paired column newels at the landings, and scrolled tread ends. The staircase rises four flights to the attic. The attic of the rear range contains plain bolted collar trusses constructed from pine. A small stone vaulted room, possibly dating to the 16th century, is located to the left of the staircase in the corner of the ground floor rear. To the right of the hall is a room now opened into the kitchen, preserving mid-18th-century pine panelling on both front and back walls. This includes fielded panels and a curved-backed arched niche with fluted pilasters, curved shelves, an architrave with a pulvinated frieze, and a cornice. The kitchen also contains three heavy, plain beams running parallel to the house's axis. The front rooms on the first floor were inaccessible at the time of survey, but some have fielded panelled shutters.
