Small country house built for Christopher Jeaffreson in 1749,
possibly including part of an earlier building. Two flanking
wings and shaped and pedimented gables to south facade
demolished in c.1950 and remaining central block with slightly
projecting cross-wings re-roofed. Red brick with patterned
burnt 'headers', gauged red brick band between floors, cornice
enriched by dentils, and window arches. Low pitched, hipped
slate roof. Two tall plain stacks and stack to right hand. Two
storeys and attics with basement; symmetrical facade. Five,
attic floor nine-paned hung sash windows, six first floor,
twelve-paned hung sash windows and four similar but larger
ground floor windows to wings. Smaller windows flank main
entrance with oval window above. Windows to central block have
segmental arches. Dressed limestone porch with Corinthian
columns and broken pediment, possibly modern; eight-raised-and
fielded-panelled door. Flanking shaped walls replace wings to
right and left hand. Side door with shell hood early C19
resited. Interior (not seen 1983) possibly has good original
details and includes room with raised- and fielded-panelling and
chimney piece with large scroll decoration. The park was
landscaped by Humphry Repton (b.1752, d.1818) and the village
road originally fronting the house was resited to its present
position.
