Villa. Early C19 with an earlier, probably C18, service wing. Rendered stone rubble
and brick, the service wing partly stud construction ; 2 span hipped slate roof with
very deep eaves on eaves brackets, 2 lateral stacks to the front, one (with the shaft
dismantled) to the rear of the main block.
Plan: Double depth main block, rectangular on plan with the main entrance on the east
side into a passage. A single depth range adjoining at the north is earlier and
appears on C18 estate maps (information from owner) and single-storey outbuildings to
the rear of this wing form a small courtyard to the north of the main block.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2:3 window front (3 windows to the service wing at
the right). The main block has a central panelled front door with a rectangular
fanlight with glazing bars ; 2-leaf window above onto a small balcony on moulded
brackets with an ornamental cast iron balustrade. 12-pane first floor C19 sash to
the right with simple iron railing above the sill. The service wing has C19 small
pane timber casements and a C19 plank and cover strip door. The symmetrical south
elevation, facing the garden, is 3 bays, 16-pane C19 sashes to left and right, 12-
pane sash in the centre all with sun hoods carried on ornamental timber trellis
brackets. 4-pane sashes to the first floor with louvred sun shutters. The west
elevation has a C19 French window with margin glazing and a similar sun hood on
brackets, 2-light C19 small pane casement to the left, 2 first floor 3 over 6 pane
sash windows with simple iron railings above the sill.
Interior: Not thoroughly inspected but includes original joinery and a stick baluster
stair.
The roof may post-date the early C19 house as earlier, shorter, eaves brackets were
found behind the present brackets during renovations (information from owner).
A handsome early C19 house with unusual and attractive external detail. '
