History
The frontage of the house carries a date of 1742[1] but this indicates the date of the house's remodelling.[2] Its origins are earlier, dating from the late 17th century. A door lintel in the kitchen is dated 1684.[1] The mid-18th century alterations gave the house a "Renaissance" façade,[2] with a forecourt and a decorative gate and railings of ironwork, which are included in the house's listing.[1] The interior, and the garden frontage, were again remodelled in the 19th century, with the addition of a veranda.[2]
Architecture and description
The architectural historian John Newman describes the house as "well-proportioned but formulaic."[3] It has five bays and two storeys.[3]
