HOUSE (Mid 19th century to Modern - 1843 AD to 2050 AD)

Description

Built in 1843 by Frances Smith when he demolished the 16th century house on the site. He intended this house to be a summer residence and planned all the rooms to face north. It is a stuccoed building with rusticated quoins and a moulded band between the storeys. The house is two storeys and attics, with a three window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars and square label moulds on the first storey. The ground storey has four small canted bays with casements and the roof is tiled, with three flat headed dormers and two central chimney stacks. <1>
