House, now office. c.1830, slightly altered. Red brick in
Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings, slate roof and stone
chimneys. Double-depth, double-fronted plan with bow to rear.
Two storeys over basement, 3 bays, symmetrical, the centre
breaking forwards slightly; ashlar basement treated as a
plinth, 1st-floor sill-band, plain frieze and moulded cornice
with blocking course. The centre has a stone porch on 2 steps,
with Ionic columns and pilasters, plain frieze and moulded
cornice with blocking course, protecting a wide
elliptical-arched doorway with a pilastered tripartite wooden
doorcase (side windows and fanlight with altered glazing). The
windows are sashed without glazing bars and have raised sills
and wedge lintels. Hipped roof of shallow pitch, with 8 tall
corniced stone chimneys. The basement areas each side of the
porch are protected by heavily ornamented cast-iron railings,
with rosette and anthemion panels, foliated bands above and
below, and tall finials with rings for former chains, both
sets run-out to terminate against flanking screen walls, with
curved corners, and gates (near the left end and at the
right-hand end, respectively). The left return wall has a
sashed window at 1st floor with margin panes (C20 extension at
ground floor); the right-hand return wall has a tall stair
window. The rear, which is 3-storeyed with basement at ground
level, has a full-height semicircular bow with a round-headed
garden door under a fanlight with radiating tracery, curved
sashed windows on all floors (9-paned at basement level,
without glazing bars above), 1st-floor sill-band carried
round, and a roof deck protected by cast-iron railings; and at
the west end a narrow 2-storey extension with a canted oriel.
INTERIOR: entrance hall with exceptionally elaborate
decoration including a screen with fluted Corinthian columns
distyle in antis, and richly decorated moulded plaster
cornices, etc; staircase with fine curvilinear cast-iron
balusters and wreathed mahogany handrail. History: occupied
c.1840 by John Horrocks (partner in Horrocks, Jacson & Co,
cotton spinners and manufacturers).
