House. c1840. Embodying elements of an earlier building, and
with extensions and interior remodelling of the 1890s.
Architect of extensions (and perhaps of the remodelling),
William Larner Sugden, 1896. Well coursed and squared rubble
with slate roofs, and some brick in rear wing.
EXTERIOR: 2-storeyed 3-window range to main block, with
3-storeyed rear wing (possibly embodying elements of an
earlier building), itself extended by a further wing built
into the earth bank, and with an Italianate tower over the
junction with the main part of the house. Right-angled rear
range added in 1896, also 3-storeyed. Central doorway in
Tuscan portico porch, flanked by canted bay windows (possibly
added c1860-70). 16-pane sash windows above. Plain overhanging
eaves.
INTERIOR: largely as remodelled in the later C19: the
staircase and several fireplaces (one incorporating tiles by
William de Morgan), and a stained glass window on the stairs
apparently date from this time.
