hall. 2 storeys, cellar and attics in stone gables. 2:3 (in projecting,
canted 2 storey and attic porch with hipped roof): 2 bays; C19 marginal glazing
bar sash windows and C20 casement windows, which resemble sashes; most under
cornice. Cross windows to west gable. Central C20 door. Single storey
rubble bakehouse projects at right (south east). Interior: hall, parlour and
dairy fireplaces are constructed of neatly coursed rubble and are segmental on
plan; stop chamfered beams; doors and hall have bolection moulded surrounds,
passage and dairy doors have ovolo moulded surrounds; very fine dog-leg staircase
with panelled newel posts, twisted balusters, carved pendants and finials; first

reused members and extended collar beam trusses; decorative panel of rose and
4 fleur-de-lys within a lozenge on stack. A very good, although somewhat altered,
example of a high class gabled vernacular/gentry house, built for a surgeon who
never occupied the property. (Hall, L, Rural Houses of North Avon and South
Gloucestershire, 1983).
