| Description | Country House, Farm, Outbuildings and Barns. Origins obscured by extensive redevelopment. Earliest Barns and Outbuildings perhaps Late C18 in origin. House perhaps mainly Early C19.

Now, part working Farm, part Apartments within House, part Barn conversions and part crude C20 ?new build?. Country House. Mainly Victorian with Italianate elements. Local red brick with buff brick quoins and expressed string course aligned with cills to 1st floor windows. Hipped roof reclad with profiled clay/concrete tiles. Deep eaves above dentilated stone cornice. Off centre ridge stack, perhaps earlier and indicating substantial reconstruction. W facing main fa‡ade, 3 bays, centre bay set back. Flanking bays contain stone dressed chamfered bay windows rising through 2 storeys. Intermediate spandrel panels with Baroque style relief decoration. Generally, 2 pane vertical sliding sash windows. Substantial accommodation at rear suggests earlier origins and later additions using salvaged materials embracing a variety styles, Vernacular, Jacobean and Victorian. Curious 3 storey C20? extension with rendered upper storey contains stone dressed and framed 2 storey window surmounted by a classical pediment, probably Jacobean Revival but possibly salvaged from an earlier building.
