Drombrow House

Detached former country house, built 1817, now in use as house. Comprising three-bay two-storey west block and later four-bay single-storey centre and east blocks with canted bays, built 1853. Hipped slate and artificial slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with two-over-two and one-over-one timber sliding sash and replacement timber casement windows. Square-headed door openings with replacement timber battened and timber glazed doors with overlights. Rubble limestone walls enclosing courtyard to rear (north). Outbuildings and ruined single-storey houses to rear (north). Extensive gardens and water features (south-east).

Despite a mid-nineteenth century fire, the west block of this former country house retains its original form and features including timber sliding sash windows and a hipped roof. The sympathetic rebuilding in 1853 by then owner Major Arthur Wilkinson ensured that it building retained its original character. The related outbuildings add to its setting and context.
