- II*

Late C18. 2 storeys, with semi-basement (in a narrow well on three sides) and part-attic. Large, almost square, mansion with near-symmetrical treatment. The east (symmetrical) elevations has 1.5.I windows, with a half-octagon pro- jecting centre: a high parapet has a coping stone, a moulded and dentil cornice, slightly-cambered openings, stone cills, and plinth: the slate hipped roof has 2 plain stacks, but on either side to the rear are square attic blocks with pyramid roof. Sashes (all windows) in reveals. The west front, 1.3.1 windows, has a half-octagon centrepiece of small projection, a lower parapet (hiding a flat roof), no basement, and on the ground floor of the south part a window to- gether with an entrance next to the corner: this doorway has a segmental pedi- ment supported on 1/2-columns, the Order having inverted bell caps with low-relief floral decoration, a flight of 5 steps with curving balustrades leads to a pave- ment in front of the door. The south elevation has 3 windows, and a higher nearly central square attic, which separates the lower parapet (of the west side) from the higher one to the east: one French door at the 2nd floor level leads to a curved balcony on 2 large brackets and with a delicate bow-shaped wrought iron rail. The north front has windows on the west side, at irregular heights, and a large chimney breast which narrows at the top to join with the attic block. Walling is white-painted brickwork in stretcher bond. Good interiors, with an Adam fireplace, panelling, folding shutters.
