House. C18 and c1830-40, probably by Paxton and Robertson.
Tudoresque style. Coursed squared sandstone with ashlar
dressings and quoins. Stone slate roof and coped gables, with
moulded kneelers. Ashlar gable stacks. Chamfered plinth. Two
storeys. Twin gabled north elevation. Four stone steps up to
the central doorway with C18 moulded architrave and bracketed
hoodmould. Gothic panelled door. Flanked by wooden cross
windows in bead moulded ashlar surrounds. Two similar windows
above, either side of a similar but much smaller window. The
outer ones have gothic glazing and stepped and returned
hoodmoulds much larger than the windows they serve. Between the
gables a stone shield in relief. In the left gable a similar
shield in moulded panel and in the right gable a blind gothic
niche. The windows are not placed symmetrically with the gables
which may indicate the remodelling of an earlier building. Rear
elevation entirely remodelled in mid C20. Remodelled as part of
the picturesque model village by Paxton for the Sixth Duke of
Devonshire. Sources: G F Chadwick The Works of Joseph Paxton,
Architectural Press 1961.
