Summary

The house is a handsome three storey building of Regency to early Victorian character, set well back from Park Road, originally behind its farm yard and farm buildings.  There is a two-storey wing at the North end which may be somewhat earlier in date, and which has been further extended in recent times.  To the rear a large two-storey wing containing a sitting room was added in c.1990.

Detail

The house is built in coursed rubble limestone with a slated roof.  The front windows of the main two floors have 16-paned sash windows set 28mm back in openings having tripartite stone lintels grooved to represent voussoirs, a central slightly dropped keystone, and stone sills.  The attic windows are 8-paned sashes.

The front door and porch is of the 20th century, replacing a margin-glazed door with overlight, set under a timber canopy on consoles.

The eaves is boxed.  There are brick stacks on both gable ends.  The front, back and end walls of the core building are c.580mm thick.  

On both end elevations evidence survives of verges of an earlier higher pitched roof, indicating that the top floor was added.  The character of the windows suggests that when this floor was added, the front elevation was refaced and updated with the present windows.  Detail suggests that this was in the first two decades of the 19th century.

There is no visible dating evidence for the earlier phase of its development.

The south elevation, overlooking the field, has on the ground floor a narrow window set off-centre towards the rear. On the first floor, a blocked window can be seen near the centre-line, probably blocked when the south end bedroom was provided with a fireplace and flue, again probably in the early 19th century.

The wing to the north is of two storeys, originally of two bays and extended c.1990. At the junction with the main block a semi-cellar has been added against the widening stone foundations of the early house.  It contains a lead-lined salting tray.  A small chamber over is gabled to the rear.

Internally, the house reflects its complete refurbishment in the early 19th century.  The stair has a balustrade ending at turned newels.
The front windows have panelled shutters and reveals.
