House. Late C16 with later modifications including major
restoration c1912. Timber-framed with plain tiled roof.
2 storeys and attic, 3-window range. Framed in closed studding
with middle rail, and moulded bressumer over ground floor, and
2 intermediate rails in the upper section, with some cusped
quatrefoil panelling in the 2 left-hand bays. None of the
rails is continuous across the facade, possibly 2 phases of
construction, perhaps left hand bays a later addition. Central
4-centred arched door, flanked by full-height canted bays with
3-light wood mullioned and transomed windows on each floor,
added c1912. Axial stack marks the junction of the 2 possible
phases of construction.
Lower 2-storey addition to the left, and long wing to the
right, largely brick but incorporating some timber-framed
construction.

rail.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the house was originally built on Dogpole,
and was moved to its present position c1702 by the Earl of
Bradford, its original site being developed with what is now
