House. c1700 with mid C19 alterations. Painted stucco with
double-pile steeply-pitched hipped roofs with one tall brick
stack to the right return and 2 to the left return; painted
stone plinth. Double-depth central through-passage plan.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attic; symmetrical 3-window range.
Early C19 6-over-6 pane sash windows to the front, early C19
central doorcase of pilasters supporting an entablature,
panelled reveals and soffit, overlight incorporating a
painted-over semi-elliptical fanlight. A narrow half-glazed
2-panel door is to the far right.
The rear was refenestrated mid C19 with tripartite windows to
the 1st floor and French windows below, all now in the course
of restoration. The central 6-panel door has raised and
fielded panels, panelled reveals and soffit and a semicircular
fanlight. C19 central dormer.
INTERIOR: thin early C18 3-panel doors. Ground-floor rooms
have chamfered axial beams. The room to the rear left has
raised-and-fielded panelling below the dado rail and a narrow
cyma-moulded cornice to walls and beam. To the front right of
the entrance a closed-string staircase with 2 short flights
between floors has straight moulded handrails, heavy turned
balusters and square newels, that over the ground floor with a
turned pendant.
The 1st flight from the ground floor was altered mid C19 when
a rounded handrail and stick balusters were inserted. The
passage has C19 fluted moulding to the dado rail. 1st-floor
rooms to the right have thick cyma-moulded fire surrounds with
C19 mantelshelves and segmental arches to the openings, both
flues enter the one large stack to the right return.
The attics are plastered but visible bases to rafters and
those in the roof space are of sawn wood, probably replaced
C19. Shallow floor joists (not seen) are said to be of halved
tree trunks.
