by George Cheeseman, for the Rev HW Wagner. Stucco scored as
ashlar, roof of tiles.
EXTERIOR: 2-storeys except at the rear where there are 3
storeys, 5-window range to the east or principal front. In a
now very simplified Tudor style. Flat-arched entrance with
splayed reveals in gabled porch to north; all windows
flat-arched with the reveals splayed to the north, and
chamfered to the south and for the most part to the east. The
east front consists of 3 gabled elements with recesses
between; 2-storey bays with parapets under each gable; in the
recessed part the first floor is set further back again and
has canted bays with unusual centrally-recessed windows; the
ground-floor windows have top-lights and original wooden
glazing bars to north and south bays; window in south recess
altered to a door; storey band to bays and recesses;
first-floor windows have original glazing to central and
southern bays, and continuous storey band; simplified cornice
carried up over gables; stacks to either side of central bay;
south front has Tudor-arched entrance between two 2-storey
bays under gables, that to the west having original glazing to
the ground floor; north front has scattered fenestration; west
front much altered and added to, partly in stucco and partly
in red brick.
INTERIOR: original, or at least mid-C19, doors survive
throughout most of the house, decorated with a motif of
multiple recessed panels, and this motif is also found on the
embrasures of some principal doors and windows; door
architraves, formed of grouped circular shafts with corner
blocks, also survive; open-well staircase to first floor with
neo-Jacobean newel posts and turned balusters, moulded rail
and closed string; Tudor-style fireplace in the penultimate
room on the east side before the south corner, with 4-centred
arch, frieze of quatrefoils, and octagonal engaged columns.
