House. c1870. High Victorian Gothic. Polychrome brick with
flint rubble sides and rear with brick dressings. Blue tile
roof with fishscale bands and crested ridge. Pierced timber
bargeboards to gables with trefoil motifs. 2 storeys with
basement. L-plan with lean-to porch in angle: side and rear
stack. Projecting gabled wing with canted bay to basement and
ground floor. Decorative brickwork to front in gault and blue
brick on a red ground, including first floor band and a series
of graduated diapers running up into the gable. Fine gauged
red and gault brick relieving arches to hollow chamfered and
roll-moulded door and window surrounds. Casement and fixed
light windows. Similar details to rear, somewhat simplified.
Concertina stacks with oversailing cornices. Arched sunk
panels to flank of side stack.
INTERIOR: C19 joinery intact including panelled doors and
staircase with stick balusters and turned newel. The plot was
developed following the extension of the railway to Saffron
Walden in 1864. Stylistically influenced by the local work of
architect William Beck, the unusual variety of the brick
detailing is suggestive of a master bricklayer's exemplar.
