Description

Appearance suggests early 19th century, but several building
phases, earliest perhaps in first half 18th century; rear wing
extended mid 19th century. L-plan, essentially 2 narrow ranges
in double-pile with twin-gabled E elevation, roof piended at W
and continued over rear wing. 2 storeys, with altered/added low
flanking wings. Rubble-built (rear wing, at least, built of river
bank pebbles) with ashlar/rubble dressings; all whitewashed
with painted ashlar margins.
S ELEVATION: earliest surviving work probably in 3-bay part
nearest E; latter raised at least once, 2 bays added left to
form symmetrical 5-bay front with central painted and
badly-weathered doric-columned doorpiece (glazed modern door);
sash windows throughout in chamfered margins and with 12-pane
glazing pattern. Corniced stacks over original end walls.
Slate roofs. N elevation altered with some brick-margined
openings; door formerly at ground and at 1st floor - original
loft - level in re-entrant angle.
