House. Early C19, possibly early C18 core. Flemish bond local brick, plastered on
the front and sides; stone rubble or brick stacks with brick chimneyshafts; slate
roof.
Plan: U-plan building. The main block faces south and it has a 2-room plan with
central entrance hall and main staircase. These are the principal rooms and each
has a rear lateral stack. 2-room plan rear service blocks project at right angles
to rear of each end. In both rear blocks the first larger room shares the main
block stack. The right (east) rear block now contains the kitchen although the
owner claims that the left (west) rear block was the original kitchen. Although the
house looks like an early C18 house thoroughly refurbished in the early C19 there is
no definite evidence of early C18 work. House is 2 storeys.
Exterior: symmetrical 5-window front of 16-pane sashes (some of them horned
replacements) arranged around a central doorway behind a Hamstone porch on top of a
flight of 3 steps. Its pediment is carried on Tuscan columns. The front doorway
contains double 6-panel doors. The front doorway contains double 6-panel doors.
The roof is tall and steeply-pitched with sprocketted eaves. There are similar sash
windows each side and to rear and a couple of C20 casements with glazing bars at the
back end of each service wing. There is, at the back of the right (east) rear wing
a service doorway containing a fielded 2-panel door (is this from the early C18
house?)
Interior: contains some original (that is to say early C19) joinery detail
including an open string stick baluster stair.
