Pevsner - "Fine 1709 face to an earlier house. Five bays, two stroeys with a moulded string between them, bolection-moulded surrounds to original sashes, open segmental pediment on consoles over the door. Hipped roof. Big rusticated piers with fluted pilasters and ball finials to the front garden wall". Built in 1709 for William Fawcett. Fawcett Street in Sunderland was named after him. In C19 the house became Dr Pybus's Academy, a boarding school for young gentlemen. In the 1920s during restoration, it was found that the stone roof tiles were secured by sharpened sheep bones.
