Mulberry House

Mulberry House is an early house that was remodeled in the 19th century in the Tudor Gothick style. The exterior is roughcast-rendered with plain rendered surrounds and features a slate roof with varying pitches, part hipped, stepped, and with overhanging eaves. The design is asymmetrical, with sections of different heights, and the left side slightly protrudes, showcasing clustered polygonal rendered stacks on the ridge. The windows are cross-framed, with small-pane glazing on the left side. The entrance is located at the center right, featuring a Tudor-arched doorway with a recessed half-glazed door that has small panes and a Gothick overlight, along with an incised Gothick design on the lower panels. The first floor includes oriel windows with Gothick heads on the upper lights, and there is a six-pane mullion and transom window on the ground floor below. There is also a further arched doorway on the left side. Decorative bargeboards adorn the gable end, complete with a finial below the apex. A former coach-house is located at the rear.

The internal layout is complex, reflecting both early origins and later remodeling and reorientation. Upon entering, the front door leads into a hall where the stairs are positioned unusually immediately to the right against the external wall, featuring a handrail but no balusters. The living room retains a Tudor-arched fireplace and plastered beams. Later decorative doors have narrow vertical panels, with moulded plaster cornices and reeded surrounds that include paterae; there is a marble fireplace in the rear room. The present kitchen retains chamfered and stopped cross beams along with a bread oven, and part of the early roof remains intact. The cellar features a round-arched stone vault and a notable early studded boarded door with strap hinges.
