What is recorded here

Detached five-bay two-storey over basement house, c.1820. Smooth rendered front wall, slate hung to sides and rere. Single-pane timber sash windows. Timber panelled door with flanking side lights and timber surround, all under wide plain fanlight. Approached by flight of steps. Hipped slate roof with two central rendered chimney stacks. Two-storey smooth rendered section to rere. Gateway entrance with small ruinous lodge to west.
Although surrounded by modern housing, this handsome Georgian house retains much original fabric including its many outbuildings. The open parkland to the front allows a fuller appreciation of its imposing presence, offering a suggestion of its former dominance in the landscape.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
