   II
   House. Late C18, re-fronted mid-C19. Brick with stucco dressings and slate
   roof. A symmetrical composition of two storeys and five bays, with chamfered
   quoins. The three central bays project, also with chamfered quoins, and with
   a pediment. The ground floor windows have rusticated surrounds and keystones.
   The first floor windows, above a cornice, are sashed, have segmental heads, and
   are flanked by pilasters with triglyphs over. Each has an apron with blind
   balustrade and a segmental pediment with scallop shell motif. The porch has
   rusticated engaged columns, triglyph frieze, and balustrade. The doorway has
   a round head. Set back to the left is a one-bay pedimented pavilion, remain-
   ing from the C18 building. At the rear is a Venetian stair window with Doric
   columns as mullions. The VCH gives a sketch plan and elevation of the original
   house, showing the extent of the C19 alterations. They state that a brick to
   the east of the porch is inscribed: "Jonathan Grundy, June 19, 1780". (VCH,
   pp 101, 102).
