Description
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1860. Hipped natural slate roof with overhanging bracketed eaves and a pair of centrally placed rendered chimneystacks. Cement rendered walls with raised quoins to corners. Segmental-headed window openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Central round-headed doorcase with cut stone architraved surround with keystone and replacement timber door with plain fanlight over. Set back from road in own grounds with complex of outbuildings to rear (south).
Appraisal
An attractive house of mid-to-late nineteenth-century appearance, which retains its early form and character. The plain, but symmetrical, exterior of this modest house is enhanced by the fine doorcase and by the regular fenestration. The doorcase is unusual as it is of a style popular c.1800, suggesting that it may have been taken from another building when this house was being constructed. Set within its own grounds, it creates a pleasant vista from the road to the north. The complex of stone outbuildings to the south, some of which predate the house, adds to the setting and completes this composition.
