GV II*
House, now offices. Early and later C18. Red brick with a slate roof and moulded eaves soffit. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and cellars. 5 window range: 12-pane sashes to the ground and 1st storeys and small 16-pane sashes to the 2nd storey, all in flush moulded cased frames. A raised brick band runs between each storey. A central 6-panel door in deep reveals is up 3 steps with wrought-iron handrails: the door has a rectangular fanlight with ornate glazing and is surmounted by a flat cornice hood on shaped brackets with a C18 wrought-iron lamp holder. A 3-storey stair wing with a hipped roof projects from the centre of the rear wall, and there are various C20 rear extensions. To the south of the main house is a 3-storey block, formerly included separately, but now forming part of the premises and probably built as an extension to them. White brick to front and side, red brick to rear; slate roof with a parapet and brick dentil cornice. One window to each storey: early C20 3-light casements with transoms set in segmental-arched brick surrounds. The doorway is blocked. To the north of the main house is a small C18 flat-roofed single storey extension which lies behind part of the linking wall of No.81 (qv). This has an open arcade with pillars along its north side. INTERIOR: cellar partly brick vaulted, but at the south side higher, with C17 ceiling beams. The interior retains many C18 fittings: 6-panelled doors with panelled surrounds, some with eared architraves; panelled shutters and eared architraves to many of the windows, the shutters with original metal fittings. Many rooms have cornices with egg-and-dart ornament, or with later foliage decorations.
In the ground storey room to the right of the entry is a heavy modillion cornice and an alcove with fluted Doric columns and fret decoration to the fascia. A fine mid-C18 stair runs the whole height of the building: turned balusters, ramped moulded handrails, open ornately bracketed strings, panelled dadoes. A thick wall, apparently of stone or flint, runs through the rear of the south end of the building and seems likely to be a continuation of the C12 stone wall within No.79 (qv). There may also be a stone return wall between the white brick extension and the main front of the building. No.80 (south end) was listed on 120772
