Location
On the north side of the B4598 about 400m east of the King of Prussia PH.
History
Early C19 house which is very little altered on the main elevation.

Two storeys, three windows with lower but also two storey wings, each with one window, to either side. The main block has smooth stucco quoins and a first floor band. Central 6-panel door with the top two glazed, an architrave surround and a contemporary tented porch with wrought iron supports. The windows have 8 over 8 pane sashes with tented canopies to the main block and 6 over 6 with tented canopies above altered casements in plain openings. The main block has a coved eaves cornice and a hipped roof with tall brick stack to the left wall. The wings have parapets, but the previously mentioned ball finials have now gone.
Further outhouse wing with plain rubble wall and slate roof attached to left.
Rear elevation not seen.
Interior
Interior not available at resurvey, but it is said to have a stick baluster stair with continuous handrail and curtail at the rear of the entrance hall.
Reason for designation
