Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
Mid 18th century house, with 1904 alterations and additions. Built of red brick and stucco dressings, with a hipped Westmoreland slate roof. Of two storeys, with a 5 bay front with rendered plinth, and central 6 panelled door. To either side are added single storey single bay wings, each with a triple glazing bar casement. The house stands in a substantial moated enclosure. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1}
The reference in the list description to the 'substantial moated enclosure' has caused some confusion between this property and the nearby Bilsby Hall (see PRN 49412). Photographs of Bilsby House show that it does indeed have a five window front range with short, single-storey extensions to both sides of the main front. Although no moated enclosure now survives around the building, a possible 3-sided moat or pond is depicted to the immediate east of the house on the 1st edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map. This feature may have been more extensive originally, and possibly enclosed a larger area around the house. {2}{3}
