Description

18th century building built on an L-shaped plan with a red brick front to the west and a timber-framed and plastered wing extending to the east at the rear. The front block and wing have parapets. It is two storeys, attics and a sub basement on the west front. The west front has a five window range and the east wing has a three window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars. Raised bands extend across the front above the first storey windows and between the storeys. A late 19th or early 20th century glazed porch projects on the centre of the west front approached by a long flight of stone steps with wrought iron railings. The east wing has a central doorway with plain Tuscan columns and a modillion cornice. The roofs are tiled, double-pitched on the east wing, with three flat headed dormers on the north front. The east wing is probably the original house to which the west block was added. <1>
