Jessfield House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1880, with attic, two-storey return and lower extension to rear and having porch to front. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to front elevation with limestone sills. Three-over-six pane timber sliding sash and timber replacement windows to rear. Glass and timber porch having wrought-iron ridge cresting to pitched glazed roof with timber bargeboards and finial. Square-headed door openings with timber glazed door to porch and battened timber door to rear with flat-roofed windbreak. Outbuildings to yard having mixture of pitched slate and corrugated-iron roofs with roughcast rendered walls. Cast-iron entrance piers and gates to front of site in partly-dressed rubble limestone boundary walls.

Located within its own grounds, this well-proportioned house is enlivened by features such as the timber sash windows and porch with decorative finial and bargeboards. The outbuildings arranged around a yard serve the main house as working farm buildings. Together the outbuildings and house make an interesting group of related structures.
