Straight joint just to left of door (lighter brick to left). Right-hand return front: 2 windows; ground-floor right-hand window altered (see straight joint); chamfered stone mullioned basement window to left. Left-hand return front with blocked first-floor window to right. Central late C18 two- storey and attic gabled wing at rear with 16-pane glazing bar sash and dentil brick eaves cornice, and pair of lower flanking gabled wings, that to left with external brick end stack. Interior: complete late C17 and early C18 fixtures and fittings. Entrance hall: moulded dado rail; 4-part cross-beam ceiling with moulded cornice; elaborate fireplace (stack truncated below ridge) incorporating large segmental arch with lugged architrave, splayed reveals with C19 decorative glazed tiles and C19 grate, moulded dentil cornice, breaking forward in centre, and painted plaster overmantel consisting of pilasters with scrolled capitals, central cornucopia, flanking scrolls, and cornice with central triangular pediment; pair of C18 wall cupboards to right of fireplace with raised and fielded panels. Late C17 staircase rising from hall (not in original position) with closed string barleysugar balusters, moulded handrail, and square newel post. Circa 1720 staircase rising to attic at left of stack; dog-leg with open string, pierced cut brackets, 3 turning balusters per tread, moulded handrail, and turned newels (paired on half-landings). Right-hand ground-floor front room: C17 moulded wainscot panelling; C17 cross-beamed ceiling consisting of 4 square compartments with moulded cornices and moulded circular panels within; C18 fireplace consisting of lugged architrave with egg and dart enrichment, pulvinated frieze with carved panel, moulded cornice and mid-C18 oil painting of rural scene in lugged panel above; C18 corner cupboard to left of fireplace with shaped shelves and segmental arch with imposts and key. Right- hand ground-floor rear room: modern fireplace with flanking C18 cupboards; C18 corner cupboard with shaped shelves. Left-hand ground-floor front room: large blocked fireplace (former kitchen). Bedrooms: 3 rooms have C18 fireplaces with lugged architraves and moulded cornices (C18 fireplace formerly in left-hand front bedroom now removed and stored in attic at time of survey - October, 1985). Fireplace in front roan to right-has splays with Delft-type glazed tiles; centre bedroom has probably C19 false chest of drawers (to allow headroom for altered C17 staircase). C17 and C18 coved and moulded.plaster cornices in many rooms. C18 doors throughout; some boarded, with L-hinges but most with 6 raised and fielded panels. This building stands on the site of an earlier house and the layout of the central block with asymmetrical hall and large stack suggests that some part of the earlier plan may have survived.
