Large Country House, 1809-1813 by George Byfield (1756 - 1813), for Charles Madryll Cheere (d.1825), altered in 1860-96 by E.T. Hooley. Stuccoed brick with moulded stone and limestone dressings. Low pitched hipped slated roofs; two symmetrical stacks and rear stacks. West main entrance facade of five 'bays'. Plinth; shallow parapet with deep cornice. Pedimented portico with four giant unfluted Ionic columns. Double, three-panelled doors with patterned cast iron glazing bars and projecting lantern, flanked by two recessed twelve-paned hung sash windows and with three similar first floor windows. Ground floor windows in outer 'bays' of three hung sash lights pedimented in blind segmental arches; two twelve-paned first floor hung sash windows with moulded stone architraves. South elevation of seven 'bays' with three centre 'bays' pedimented and slightly projecting; semi circular Roman Doric porch with cast iron railings to balcony with access from first floor window. East elevation with recessed Ionic portico. Interior. Large entrance hall floored with grey marble with Ionic pilasters and columns in red scagliola; similar yellow scagliola columns to east ante room of Corinthian order. Stone staircase with cast iron balustrade enriched with leaf patterns. Charles Madryll, married to John Cheere's daughter, adopted the family name when inheriting the estate. E.T.
