Description
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1910, having projecting full-height central entrance bay, flanked by canted bay windows to end bays and having two-bay end elevations and flat-roofed two-bay single-storey extension to rear. Hipped slate roof with brick chimneystacks, with gablets to first floor front end windows, latter having terracotta ridge crestings and finials. Rendered lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render quoins, roughcast rendered walls to rear and red brick walling to bay windows. Square-headed window openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, entrance bay having triple window to front over entrance and double to side. Limestone sills throughout, continuous to bay windows and to entrance bay. Square-headed door opening with overlight, sidelights and timber panelled double doors. Four-bay two-storey outbuilding to rear having pitched corrugated-iron roof and painted mass concrete walls, multiple-bay single-storey stables to north having pitched slate roof and rendered walls, and five-bay single-storey outbuilding to east having pitched corrugated-iron roof. Ashlar limestone piers to road entrance with carved limestone caps and plinths and sweeping roughly dressed limestone masonry walls with alternate vertically-set coping stones.
Appraisal
The regular form of this house is enlivened by the bay windows which compliment the projecting central bay. The brick walls of the bay windows create an interesting and unusual textural contrast against the rendered walls. The form of the house is emphasised by the rendered quoins and the divided windows to the central bay. The limestone entrance gates are finely carved and serve as a reminder of the skilled craftsmanship involved in stonemasonry. The accompanying outbuildings provide context to the site.
