Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 6 Jan 2008
An odd looking building. It appears to be mostly 18th century, but with an odd sort of Victorian tower in the middle. It is Grade II listed; the English Heritage listing says: "House. Late C18 with late C19 alterations. Ashlar, stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays. 3 steps up to central C20 glazed door with overlight in reeded surround with deep cornice. Flanking windows on each floor. 16-pane sashes, projecting sills, incised lintels. First floor, centre: sash with glazing bars. Moulded stone gutter, gable coping, end stacks. Interior: original staircase lit by round-arched sash window with glazing bars. 6-panel doors. Similar in style to Pyefield House (qv). An inscription now built above a window in the attached range of buildings states 'This building erected by William and Jane Skaife AD 1795'. It was probably removed from the house when the entrance was altered in the late C19." (English Heritage building ID 331176)
