A large early C18; red brick building probably incorporating the core
of an earlier building. Parts are said to date back to the Restoration
period. Considerably enlarged with a north-east wing. Roof slate, hipped
with a modillion moulded eaves cornice and flat headed dormers with slated
cheeks. Two storeys and attics. The windows are double-hung sashes
with glazing bars and cased frames in shallow reveals with gauged brick
flat arches. The main south-west front has 1:3:1 window range and the
centre part, of 3 window range, breaks forward slightly. A central doorway
has a stone doorcase with pediment on console brackets. Four dormers.
The north-west front has 5 window range and a central French window under
a C19 verandah porch with wide eaves. Three dormers. A raised brick
band extends across the fronts between the storeys. The south-east front
has 2 large 2-storeyed splayed bays with 3 window range and 4 window
range between the bays. Seven dormers. There are a number of tall chimney
stacks with cornices. The interior has a sitting room with neo-classical
decoration, massive ceiling beams in the sitting room and hall and a
good pine staircase with open string and twisted balusters.
