1845-50. Architect Edward Blore. Red brick. Hipped slate roof. Hipped
slate roof. Red brick stacks, with extraordinary tops probably added in the
1860's. 2 storeys. Modillioned eaves cornice. Long and short brick quoins.
3 ranges or sashes with glazing bars in brick "Gibbs" surrounds. Extension of
C1860-5 on south side. Porch added by William White in 1861: polychrome herringbone
brick work, corner piers with pyramidal caps and buttresses, open parapet above,
3 segmental arches with hoodmoulds (1 each to each flank) taken on 2 squat stone
columns with foliate capitals.
Like A House and B House, it is a remarkably early example of the revival of
C17 forms: superfically it even looks ten years younger than its porch. But
like A House, it is not as wholeheartedly "Queen Anne Revival" as B House; although
the details are of 1700, the proportions are of an early C19 villa.
