Small country house; 1812 with C20 alterations and additions.
Stucco and ashlar, flat roof not visible; 3 storey with stone
plinth, 2 first floor bands, the upper one at cill level, 2nd
floor band, at cill level, plain coped parapet. 5 bay garden
front with central 3 bays slightly advanced. Central 6 panelled
door with traceried fanlight, covered by open porch with Doric
columns and pilasters supporting full plain entablature. To
either side are a pair of glazing bar sashes. Above door a
glazing bar sash with moulded surround and cornice. Over this a
stone tablet with coat of arms and motto "Toujour Jeune".
Further first floor windows, either side are glazing bar sash.
On the 2nd floor, the middle 3 bays are open with a collonade of
paired ashlar Doric columns, supporting plain parapet over; the
balcony has wrought iron balustrade of overlapping circles.
This feature almost certainly dates from C20 when there was a
fire on the top floor; it is flanked by single, smaller glazing
bar sashes. The banding is carried around the sides which have
some glazing bar sashes and blank openings. At the rear are C20
single storey extensions and the rear front has a venetian window
at 1st floor and an elliptical opening light to 2nd floor, both
openings light the stairway. Interior: The staircase rises
through 3 storeys and has swept flights and plain balustrades.
The space between stairway and hall is defined by an elliptical
arch. There are chaste cornices to the ceilings, full shutters
to the windows, moulded architraves with a Greek form to the
corners, and all the doors are 6 panelled and contemporary with
the house.
