Full Description

A large country house, now a school, mostly 1813-14 by Sir Jeffry Wyatville, with 18th century elements. There is a gault brick range with ashlar dressings and a shallow hipped concrete tile roof. Attached to the north-west is a small gault brick house with a concrete tile roof. Attached to north-west of the latter is a late 18th century red brick service wing with an earlier red brick service wing set back but attached to the north-west. Both have shallow, hipped concrete tile roofs, the earlier 18th century wing with a leaded octagonal cupola. The main range, on the northwest front is on two storeys, with five bays including a slightly projecting central portion across three bays. Steps lead up to a central doorway, which is flanked by two windows with five smaller first floor windows, all with glazing bar sashes. A large, central, early 19th century Tuscan portico, three columns deep with wall pilasters, is thought to have come from Beckingham Hall. A two storey, three bay east return has a projecting ground floor central bay with blocked window and a small pediment. The central bay is flanked by long windows with three smaller windows above, all with glazing bar sashes. The two storey, five bay south-west front, has three projecting central bays. The central ground floor bay has a 17th century, ashlar, semi-circle of Tuscan columns paired against the wall, which is thought to have come from Fenton Hall or Beckingham Hall. A plaque attached to south front is inscribed "This house was erected by Robert and Amelia Heron in the years 1813 and 1814. "Jeffery Wyatt, Architect."
