House, now subdivided as 3. Built in several phases, the
earliest late C17, the rest late C18-early C19. Brick with
stone-flagged and concrete tiled roofs.
Spring Cottage (No.110) represents the earliest building on
the site. Late C17 (re-sited datestone dated 1691). Brick with
stone quoins and plinth. 2 storeys, 3-window range with
central entrance and stair hall. Re-sited datestone over
doorway, with initials HS (Harriet Stonehewer). Partially
refronted during repairs, the windows also renewed as 2-light
mullions and transoms, with flat-arched, finely gauged brick
heads with keystone. Leaded panes in lower windows. Wide
gables over outer windows.
Foden Bank (No.112) was probably the second phase of building
on the site. Late C18-early C19. Painted brick with
stone-flagged roof. 2 storeys, 4-window range with 15-pane
full-height sashes to ground floor, 4-pane sashes above.
Moulded wood eaves. End wall stacks. Glazed entrance porch
against eastern gable, leading to single-storey hallway.
Architrave to doorway has Corinthian pilasters each side of
wide 6-panelled door with traceried fanlight. Subsidiary range
to left of entrance, a 2-storeyed, 3-window range with 12-pane
sashes, modillion eaves cornice and end wall stacks.
Greystones (No.114) forms a parallel rear range, probably a
somewhat later addition as a ballroom. 2-storeyed, 2-window
range, with wide tripartite sashes on each floor, those to
ground floor of full height. Service wing projecting to south
houses entrance, the fenestration largely renewed.
INTERIOR: Spring Cottage retains 1 panelled room splat
baluster staircase, consistent with late C17 date.
