Benamore House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house over basement, built c.1800, with two-storey return to east end. Hipped slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with two-over-two timber sliding sash windows with stone sills. Carved limestone doorcase with open-bed pediment, pilasters and cornice and having timber panelled door with plain fanlight and flanked by one-over-one pane timber sash sidelights with stone sills and approached by flight of stone steps. Ruinous rubble limestone outbuildings to rear. Cast-iron gates to road entrance between replacement piers with carved limestone caps. Gateway to west of house has wrought-iron gate and cast-iron turnstile.

This house is a good and intact example of the common three-bay two-storey over basement house type with hipped slate roof. It has retained its fine limestone doorcase, which is clearly the work of skilled craftsmen, and its timber sash windows which enhance the building. The landscape setting is also of interest.
