Description
Detached three-bay two-storey roughcast house, built c.1800. The panelled front door is framed with pilasters which support a fine cornice above which is a spider’s web patterned fanlight. All window openings are flat-headed and all frames are six over six sash; painted stone sills. The roof is hipped and finished in slate and has cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered chimneystacks, with moulded caps and clay pots. The curved gate screen and wrought-iron gates with square gate pillars open onto a driveway. The gates and stone caps may have been reincorporated into a new wall. The house sits at the head of the driveway and is approached from the side.
Appraisal
Fine well preserved example of a late Georgian gentleman’s residence which still retains its picturesque setting. Such well preserved examples are becoming increasingly rare.
