What is recorded here
Detached five-bay three storey country house, built c.1800. To the south west there is an early 18th century wing. To the north side there is a modern conservatory while to the south-west there is a range of late 19th century outbuildings. The country house is finished with roughcast render with stone dressings. The panelled front door is flanked by three-quarter Ionic pilasters and plain sidelights; these support a projecting stone cornice and an elliptical-headed radial fanlight. Window openings are mainly flat-headed with either six over six or three over three sash frames. Directly over the door there is a tripartite window and above this there is a semi-circular arched window with spider's web frame. Chimneystacks are rendered with corbelled caps and clay pots. The country house is set within large landscaped gardens.
This late Georgian country house is delightfully located within a parkland setting. It is in original condition and is an important asset to the local heritage. The country house has an early 18th century wing which was the original house.
