Central entrance hall divided by tripartite architrave from rear stair hall, which has stone staircase with cast iron balusters. Some original detail (plaster cornices and joinery including internal window shutters) survives.
Reason for designation
A good example of an early C19 small country house, one of a series which represents an important element in Overton’s C19 development.
