What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, having lean-to extension to rear (north-east). Currently vacant. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with rough-cast rendered panelling. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills, having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to first floor and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to ground floor. Square-headed door opening, now blocked, having single-pane overlight surmounted by religious tile. Rendered plinth height wall enclosing site having square-profile rendered piers flanking wrought-iron pedestrian gate to east of site.
An early nineteenth-century house retaining much of its original form and character, which is enhanced by the retention of much of its fabric including sash windows. The building is a fine example of a large farm house and its symmetrical proportions give it a sense of grandeur. The religious tile above the door is of note, indicating the importance of religion in the rural community in the past.
