Summary
Built in 1820 for the Postle family and designed by Reverend William Gunn, an amateur architect, this elegant house is an excellent example of late Georgian architecture. Built of white brick, it is two storeys high and three window bays wide, the centre bay projecting with a central door behind a fluted Doric porch standing on two columns and pilasters with an entablature. A late 20th century one storey extension contains a swimming pool.
