2. Originally called Bourne Place. The present building was built by Sir Anthony and Dame Elizabeth Aucher in 1701 on the site of an older building of which the original owners were the Bourne family. A large rectangular mansion of 2 storeys, attic and basement in red brick with hipped tile roof and wooden modillion eaves cornice. The entrance front has 13 windows and 6 dormers. The central portion of 5 windows projects slightly with a pediment over containing a Venetian attic window. Windows with stone keystones and hung sashes with glazing bars. Stone stringcourse and rusticated quoins to each of the 3 sections. The wings have 3 dormers each with pediments, the centre of each group of 3 having a segmental pediment, the outer ones triangular. Central doorway with fluted Ionic pilasters, curved pediment containing a cartouche and door of 8 fielded panels at the head of 8 steps edged by a stone wall which is continued in brick in front of the basement forecourt interspersed with stone piers. The west or garden front is similar without the basement forecourt or the central doorway and has only 5 dormers, all with triangular pediments. The north and south fronts have 4 windows each, the north front having a small porch. The interior was altered in 1848, but contains a good C18 staircase, panelling and ceilings.
