House. Late C18, re-fronted mid-C19. Brick with stucco dressings and slate roof. A symmetrical composition of two storeys and five bays, with chamfered quoins. The three central bays project, also with chamfered quoins, and with a pediment. The ground floor windows have rusticated surrounds and keystones. The first floor windows, above a cornice, are sashed, have segmental heads, and are flanked by pilasters with triglyphs over. Each has an apron with blind balustrade and a segmental pediment with scallop shell motif. The porch has rusticated engaged columns, triglyph frieze, and balustrade. The doorway has a round head. Set back to the left is a one-bay pedimented pavilion, remain- ing from the C18 building. At the rear is a Venetian stair window with Doric columns as mullions. The VCH gives a sketch plan and elevation of the original house, showing the extent of the C19 alterations. They state that a brick to the east of the porch is inscribed: "Jonathan Grundy, June 19, 1780". (VCH, pp 101, 102).
