II*

Country house. c1700, but possibly built in 2 distinct phases.
Brick with graded slate roof. Entrance front of 3 storeys and
7 bays, the upper storey a different brick and bond, possibly
extending a house of the late C17, in the early C18. Central
door with 6-fielded panels in shouldered architrave and
segmentally arched pediment. Flush framed 12-pane sash windows
with flat arched gauged brick heads with stuccoed key stones,
and moulded stone sills, aligned on each floor. Sill band to
first floor, modillion eaves cornice. Rear elevation similar,
but superior quality of detailing suggests that this was
intended as the principal front. Central doorway with
shouldered architrave with keystone and segmentally arched
pediment on consoles. 12-pane sash windows have flat arched
brick heads with fluted stuccoed keystones and moulded sills.
Doorway inserted in former window opening to lower right.
Parapet wall across both gables, linking 2 parallel ridges.
Gable end stacks with projecting capping. Internally, a series
of panelled rooms, to ground and first floor, at least one of
the early C18 with bolection moulding to fireplaces and door
surrounds. Others may be later C18, and there was some later
C19 remodelling by the Crane family, whose monograms appear in
painted plaster in a ceiling. Floral fresco painting to
ceiling in one ground floor room. Small room to front has
C17-style panelling, either a good copy, or surviving from an
earlier building. Early C18 staircase with moulded string and
turned balusters. Late C19 armorial glass in stair windows.
