Timber door with centre bead, eight raised bolection panels and fixed-glazed side and overlights. Single-storey outbuilding to north, recently renovated, having raised roof, sandstone random rubble walls, south gable incorporating part of former brick chimney stack and line of former roof profile. Additional outbuilding to the north-west with recent slate roof, squared and coursed sandstone walls, segmental-headed carriage arch and recent lantern with clock and weather vane. Rubble stone boundary walls with chamfered piers having elongated caps and spherical finials, c.1765.
Appraisal
A well maintained early nineteenth-century house of simple Italianate design which is a good example of a type built for professionals, gentleman farmers or as glebe houses. The 1836 Ordnance Survey map records a house with a T-plan and an adjoining building to the west in line with the existing outbuilding. The entrance gates predate the existing house which was built to replace an eighteenth century house on the site, that was apprently destroyed by fire.
