January 1974. Building survey.
This two-storey house dates from the 18th century and is of yellow brick with red brick dressings, and plaintiled roofs. The rectangular chimney stack is of yellow brick with red brick quoins. The front elevation is distinctive; above a plinth are three openings, a door and two windows, each with red brick quoins and rubbed-brick flat arches. The sashes are 19th century and the doorcase is a high quality wooden one with open pediment. Above is a moulded platband in fine red brick with a central keystone above the ground floor opening. To the first floor are two windows flanking a central blind window which is filled with red bricks and was presumably once open. Above a modern cement platband is a parapet in yellow brick; at the ends and at two points in the middle are two columns of red bricks alternately headers and stretchers giving the effect of pilasters on the pediment.
Internally the style of the stair points to the first half of the 18th century. Beyond the stair is a pantry with ventilator grille, presumably original. Further north along the passage the original cupboards have been disrupted to provide access to a late 19th century kitchen built to the west of the house. One ground floor room is elaborately panelled. The fireplace is flanked by two round-headed recesses and has a magnificent chimneypiece with fluted Corinthian columns which dates from the late 18th or early 19th century. On the first floor are further panelled roomsm one of which contains another 18th century fireplace.
