GV II*

Country house. C17 core, but mainly two building periods, early and mid C18.
Red brick, stone dressings. Slate roof, hipped, with parapet surmounted by
stone urns, and main cornice also of stone. Internal stacks of red brick,
rectangular in plan with capping. Plan of single east-west range with mid C18
extensions at each end. Cellar, two storeys and attic. North front probably
remodelled late C18 has seven bay centre block including pedimented and
slightly projecting three centre bays. Rusticated quoins, bulls eye window to
tympanum, twelve pane recessed hung sashes and central doorway with pedimented
Ionic portico. The flanking wings are symmetrical and of three bays each. The
centre window at ground floor of each wing is a Venetian window in a round
headed arch with fan surround. South front has irregular window disposition
indicating the C17 core. Seven bays. Hung sashes in raised stucco surrounds.
The symmetrical wings at the end were widened late C18 and the projections at
the ends added. The ground floor infills are wooden. The interior is much
altered but some C18 chimney pieces have been inserted. According to Lysons
the house was rebuilt by Sir Robert Cotton after 1682 and before 1707, when it
was illustrated by Johannes Kip (Britannia Illustrata, 1707). It was extended
by Margaret Cotton, mid C18, and acquired by Thomas Quintin in late C18 who may
have refaced the north front.
