Mansion. C18 and possibly C17 core (said to have been originally built by
John Felton, d.1703); enlarged and remodelled c.1800 by Francis Sandys for
Robert Sparrow. Brick and stucco; slated roof. 2 storeys and attics. The
entrance front has 7 bays, arranged 2:3:2; wider entrance bay, the bays to
each side flanked by giant Roman Doric pilasters which support a reeded frieze
across the centre. Moulded wooden mutule eaves cornice. Flat parapet, raised
and panelled over the centre bays. Sash windows with glazing bars in flush
frames; tripartite centre window, the side lights detached. Curved open
entrance porch of stone, in the Roman Doric order; inset 6-panel door. The
right hand return front of 9 bays, 2:5:2, the 5 centre bays set forward and
the centre 3 forming a curved ground floor bay. Extending to the left of the
main block is a single-storey ll-bay orangery with large small-paned casement
windows and matching doors; the 5 central bays are divided by engaged wooden
columns with flanking antae and were formerly pedimented. The orangery leads
to the former picture gallery, now renovated and used as a squash court. In
the corresponding position to the right of the house is a colonnade, open to
the front, which seems to have originally led to a small domed summerhouse.
The interior is largely unaltered.
