What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1875, with two-storey return to rear, later front porch, and rear extension c. 1900 to west. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, pitched roof with timber bargeboards to return, and flat roof to rear extension. Smooth rendered walls with render quoins and rendered plinth. Square-headed two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with limestone sills and replacement door. Multiple-bay single- and two-storey outbuildings form farmyard to west of house.
This building is a hybrid between a large farmhouse and a small country house. It has the elegance of a country house, but to the rear forms one range of a farmyard. Its form and scale are enhanced by the retention of features such as timber sash windows and slate roof.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
