Full Description
A plain five-bay brick house of about 1700. Its slightly odd appearance is due to a later hipped roof of low pitch. Inside, the main rooms were all panelled and have several naïve painted panels, probably done by an itinerant artist. In one ground-floor room, a topographical view; upstairs, Dido pining for Aeneas, signed 'Inchbald Pt for Mr Harland 1763'. An outbuilding behind may have been a detached kitchen. {1}{2}{3}
