What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey two-pile house, built c.1810, having slightly lower two-storey lean-to return and flat-roof single-storey extension to rear and single-storey porch to west gable having lean-to slate roof. Hipped slate front roof slope, artificial slate rear, with central rendered chimneystacks. Painted roughcast render to walls with stucco quoins to front façade. Timber sliding sash windows, twelve-over-twelve pane to ground floor, eight-over-four pane to first floor and two-over-two pane to rear, having painted limestone sills. Carved limestone block-and-start door surround with elaborate cobweb fanlight and replacement timber door. Single-storey rubble limestone outbuildings to northwest, one of which has bellcote to west gable.

This well-maintained house has a distinctive appearance provided mainly by its rather squat elevation and by its curious roofscape. Its finely-carved limestone door surround and decorative fanlight give a decorative focus and the front facade is enhanced by the large small-pane sash windows of the front and east elevations add further character to the building. The various outbuildings add to the context.
