House, now residential home. 1789 for George Uppleby, with earlier C18 section to rear; extensive mid C19 additions to rear. Fine red brick in Flemish bond with scored pointing; limestone ashlar dressings. Welsh slate roof. L-shaped on plan: 2-room central entrance hall west front of 1789 with C19 extensions to rear right and north wing to rear left containing earlier C18 section and C19 services, servants accommodation and chapel to east end. 2 storeys, 5 bays; symmetrical. Deep plinth. Perron of 6 stone steps to tripartite entrance with half-glazed fielded-panel door and sidelights with glazing bars and moulded cills in pilastered Doric surround with plain entablature and central projecting columned porch with pediment. 12-pane ground floor sashes in reveals with rubbed brick flat arches and projecting stone rills. Two ashlar first floor bands with recessed ashlar balustrades beneath similar first floor sashes and central tripartite ashlar window with pilasters supporting cornice and pediment over central light. Modillion eaves cornice with ashlar blocking course. Hipped roof with pairs of axial and lateral stacks to rear with moulded ashlar cornices. Right return: plinth and first floor balustrade similar to front; single blocked windows to each floor of early section, tripartite ground floor sash and first floor 12-pane sash to matching C19 section to right. C19 south front has ashlar first floor bands, 12-pane sashes in reveals with rubbed brick arches and stone cills; chapel to rear has bellcote with wooden traceried panels. Interior.
