Large house. Dated 1793. Rendered rubble walls and 3 projecting gable end stacks,
2 at left end, which have brick shafts. Hipped slate roof.
Double depth plan with central stairhall and 2 probably larger principal rooms at
the front and service rooms at rear, kitchen probably behind left-hand front room.
3 storeys. Symmetrical 3-window facade. The left and right-hand windows are
original tripartite bows of 28-pane hornless sashes. The ground floor ones have a
small dentilled cornice above. At centre are 2 original 12-pane hornless sashes.
The second floor windows are smaller. Central doorway reached by shallow steps with
original open pedimented porch-hood that has a Doric engaged column either side.
Original panelled door has fanlight above with 'cobweb' pattern glazing bars. Above
door is stone plaque engraved with "This house was built by T B Studdy in the year
1793". Under the eaves is a reeded cornice with intermediate recessed circles.
Symmetrical 3-window rear facade with original 15-pane tripartite windows to left
and right. At centre stair window is arched sash with Gothic tracery. 12-pane
hornless sash above it. Interior inaccessible at time of survey.
This is a very good quality late C18 house which remains virtually unaltered
externally and is likely to contain good interior features of which the staircase
may be of particular interest.
