Description
Detached five-bay part one part two and part three-storey country house, built c.1800. The east front is finished in painted vertical hung slate while the remainder is finished in render. There are later additions to the west rear. To either side there are flat-roofed semi-circular bays, that to the north is two-storey while that to the south is single-storey. The front timber panelled door is flanked with pilasters with Ionic order capitals, these support a projecting cornice over which is a radial fanlight set within an elliptical-headed opening. On either side are sidelights with diamond panes. Window openings are flat-headed with six over six timber sash frames. The hipped roof is finished with natural slate and has cast-iron rainwater goods. Chimneystacks are rendered with plain caps and clay pots. The country house is set within a large mature garden.
Appraisal
This well preserved late Georgian country house has retained its original detailing and character. The slate clad front although not unique is somewhat unusual. Altogether it is a good example of the genre.
