II*

1731, and 1935. On an old site, a rebuilding of 1731, incorporating an earlier structure burnt in 1661, with a reconstituted west front by H S Goodhart-Rendel. Two storeys and attic and basement. The east (1731) front is symmetrical, with an angular centrepiece, 2.3.2 windows. Hipped slate roofing, with 2 flat-roofed dormers on each side and 2 on the diagonal faces of the octagonal pyramid roof of the centre; moulded cornice. The main wall is of squared flint, the centrepiece of stone ( ) in fine ashlar; stone dressings include flush quoins, architraves (the upper plain but moulded in the centrepiece, the lower with cornice, keystone, and panel, with rusticated arches in the centre) plinth, and carved coat of arms above the central French window. Sashes in reveals. The west front has a tall projecting centrepiece, with the upper section in stonework supporting a coat of arms; below is a flush pediment, a roundel, a band, and a tall round-headed staircase window, the entrance now a square porch. On either side are short wings, and further projecting wings, and detached outer piers, to produce a symmetrical window pattern of 1.3.2.1.2.3.1. This newer work continues the old elevation style, enriched by the closer proportion of the elements, the total frontage being wider than the garden (east) front. Within, there is an imposing octagonal room , on the axis with the entrance hall, and a small room with C17, panelling and a stone fireplace, being a part, with very thick walls, of the earlier Jacobean fabric. Staircases, door-frames and panelled doors, also survive from the 1731 building. (see Country Life September 1941).
