Description
This is a large, mid-18th century Renaissance house. It is rendered and painted with stucco quoins, and has a slate roof with a tile ridge. The symmetrical front elevation is three-and-a-half stories high with a hipped roof featuring brick end stacks and three dormers; the central dormer retains its original 12-pane window, while the right-hand dormer window is a 20th-century replacement. The first floor has five hornless sash windows with stone sills. A panel inscribed with the date 1742 and initials WM sits beneath the bracketed eaves. The ground floor has a central doorcase with a shallow pediment supported by narrow, shaped brackets, and a six-panel door with glazed upper panels. Flanking the doorway are two sash windows on each side.
The south-facing garden front features a single-story, late 19th-century verandah with a hipped slate roof, a band of open quatrefoils below the eaves, wooden pillars with pierced trefoils in the spandrels, and a late 19th-century nine-panel door. A two-story rectangular bay window projects from the left corner of the facade. This bay window's ground and first floors have 19th-century three-light mullion and transom windows with a small 4+4+4 pane design above and taller 4+4+4 panes below. The bay window’s parapet has square panels with pierced quadrant decoration. A late 19th-century facade to the west, with twin projecting gables, has irregularly placed sash windows on the first floor (four small panes to the upper sash, a single large pane below) and a 20th-century porch with a monopitch roof on the ground floor, featuring an 8-pane sash window to the left and a smaller 4-pane sash window to the right.
A narrow forecourt, enclosed by decorative iron gate and railings, runs along the front of the house, bordering the roadway.
The interior features a staircase hall with a 18th-century staircase and a side passage to the rear rooms. The drawing room on the left has an 18th-century five-panel door, a 17th-century fireplace lintel with a half-round roll moulding, and chamfered ceiling beams with run-out stops. The room on the right contains an 18th-century six-panel door and a wooden fireplace lintel with a segmental arch. The fine 18th-century oak stair has half-turns with landings around an open well, plain balusters, closed strings, square reeded newel posts with square caps, and a moulded hand rail. A first-floor chamber has a shouldered 18th-century fireplace surround with a hob grate, flanked by 17th-century five-panel fireplace cupboards on each side. The attic, divided into five bays with a collar truss roof, is partitioned into two rooms, one marked ‘chees room’, both with two-panel doors. A rear wing on the ground floor includes a fine 17th-century doorway dated 1684, further 17th-century exposed chamfered beams, and a late 19th-century neo-classical fireplace surround.
