Description
Detached three-bay two-storey house, c.1900, possibly originally mill owner's house with single-bay single-storey flat-roofed advanced porch to centre ground floor, and three-bay single-storey wing to right. Part refenestrated, c.1975. Pitched slate roofs with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks, rendered coping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Flat concrete lintel roof to porch. Painted rendered walls over random rubble stone construction. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows (replacement timber casement windows, c.1975, to ground floor) having two-over-two timber sash windows to wing. Square-headed door opening with replacement glazed tongue-and-groove timber panelled door, c.1975. Square-headed door opening to wing with timber panelled door. Set back from line of road in own grounds.
Appraisal
An attractive modest-scale house possibly originally having associations with a corn mill indicated nearby on early twentieth-century archival editions of the Ordnance Survey. Reasonably well maintained the original composition elements of the house survive substantially intact although the gradual replacement of the historic fabric threatens to undermine the character of the site.
