POST MEDIEVAL
Victorian 1837 to 1901
Extant Building
Small L-shaped building of two storeys in red machine-made brick with lintels, sills and banding in sandstone and white brick. The house was probably begun after 1861 and finished by 1896, although two builds are evident, the earliest to the north. There is a bay window at the north-west with a clock face by Gents of Leicester above it. The roof is Welsh slate with decorative clay ridge-tiles and several large chimneys. Windows are single pane sashes. The building is described in the Clifford's Fort Conservation Plan as "an esoteric mix of Victorian Gothic and Italianate". It is reminiscent of railway architecture. The architect is unknown. LOCAL LIST
