Description
Detached five-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c. 1840, with extension to rear (north). Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, uPVC rainwater goods and recent rooflights. Rendered walls throughout with rendered plat bands and quoins to front (south) elevation. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills and surrounds throughout, having uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door opening with rendered surround and uPVC door to front elevation. Recent concrete outbuilding with pitched corrugated-iron roof to west. Set within own grounds.
Appraisal
The façade of this pleasantly proportioned house has retained a sombre elegance through the restrained use of ornamentation displayed around the window and door openings. The symmetrical front elevation contrasts with the more vernacular tradition displayed to the rear elevation which lacks any window openings. The retention of an associated outbuilding indicates the building's use as a farmhouse and adds to the architectural value of the ensemble.
