Description
Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c.1770, with double-height hall addition to the east and two-bay two-story earlier block set perpendicular to the west. Hipped and pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sash windows with stone sills and render flat-arched window openings. Pedimented stone doorcase with spoked fanlight and timber panelled door.
Appraisal
The plain façade of this house is enhanced by the carved stone doorcase. It is interesting to note the three phases of construction which are apparent in the form and fenestration of each phase. The house forms an interesting group with the related outbuildings.
