Detached house. Mid C17, much altered and enlarged in the C19. Rendered cob and
stone; hipped and gable end slate roof. Plan: The C17 house was of the traditional
3 room, through-passage plan type, the service end to the left of the passage. 2
wings to the rear of the service end and inner room respectively may incorporate
earlier fabric. The C17 work is disguised externally by an early C19 refurbishment
which made the inner room wing into the main range, with a fashionable symmetrical
front facing east over the extensive garden. This is a 2 room, central cross-
passage with rear stacks; at the same time the old range was widened to accommodate
a rear corridor. External end stack (now largely dismantled) heated old service
end; internal lateral and end stacks to service end rear wing. All stacks with
brick shafts. 2 storeys.
Exterior Main Front (facing garden): symmetrical 3 window range; first floor with
16-pane hornless sash windows flanking 12-pane hornless sash window. Central
panelled door with large 16-pane hornless sash windows to either side.
South front (the old range): 4 casement window to first floor, all of 3-light, 2 of
them C19 with 8 leaded panes per light. Three 16-pane hornless sash windows to
ground floor.
Rear: Horned sash windows, and some later casements; the stairs to the rear of the
main range are contained in a stair turret under a catslide roof, lit by a tall
round-headed window, its decorative ferramenta intact.
Interior: between the hall and inner room are remains of a plain stud and plaster
partition and part of a doorway arch; 2, and 2 half ceiling beams with composite
moulded chamfers (cyma reversa and cavetto) to hall.
