House, now residential home. 1789 for George Uppleby, with earlier C18

roof. L-shaped on plan: 2-room central entrance hall west front of 1789
with C19 extensions to rear right and north wing to rear left containing
earlier C18 section and C19 services, servants accommodation and chapel to
east end. 2 storeys, 5 bays; symmetrical. Deep plinth. Perron of 6 stone
steps to tripartite entrance with half-glazed fielded-panel door and
sidelights with glazing bars and moulded cills in pilastered Doric surround
with plain entablature and central projecting columned porch with pediment.
12-pane ground floor sashes in reveals with rubbed brick flat arches and
projecting stone rills. Two ashlar first floor bands with recessed ashlar
balustrades beneath similar first floor sashes and central tripartite ashlar
window with pilasters supporting cornice and pediment over central light.
Modillion eaves cornice with ashlar blocking course. Hipped roof with pairs
of axial and lateral stacks to rear with moulded ashlar cornices. Right
return: plinth and first floor balustrade similar to front; single blocked
windows to each floor of early section, tripartite ground floor sash and
first floor 12-pane sash to matching C19 section to right. C19 south front
has ashlar first floor bands, 12-pane sashes in reveals with rubbed brick
arches and stone cills; chapel to rear has bellcote with wooden traceried

panels to centre (Offering to Flora) and ends to be displayed in this
position in 1789: one of very few documented examples in existence. The
frieze, pilasters and a band above the moulded dado rail are of contemporary
floral tapestries in reeded surrounds, perhaps unique. Dentilled cornice,

Room to rear wing has possibly earlier C18 coved ceiling ornamented with
later C18 fluted bands etc. Re-used C18 balusters to back staircase and
rear entrance hall. Panelled window shutters, doors in architraves
throughout. Drawing by C Nattes, 1796, Banks Collection, Lincoln City
