been blocked. Series of 3 gables to front and rear give a
distinctive appearance. Each gable has a blocked 2-light
mullion window under an elliptical brick arch and hoodmould
with a rendered square panel above. 2 rendered chimney

blocked with a mullion, one with a horizontally sliding sash

C20 to insert a bay window. Fenestration to the rear is
equally varied but all windows are within the original
openings and retain brick hoodmoulds. Interior: inglenook

moulded beams with ogee stops. Beams and post have unusual
carved corbels. Dogleg stair with closed string, oak splat
balusters and acorn finials to the newels which are carved.

in first floor room. Tie-beam roof trusses with curved
struts. A well preserved example of a large brick house
which retains many original and unusual features. Buckley
