What is recorded here
Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820, with remains of wing to north-east elevation and basement to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and terracotta ridge tiles. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with remains of timber fittings and cut limestone sills. Abutting wing having roughly dressed limestone walls with red brick block-and-start surrounds to square-headed openings. Remains of outbuildings arranged around courtyard to rear having dressed limestone walls and square-headed openings. Segmental-arched entrance arch to yard having cut limestone voussoirs and remains of timber battened door. Wrought-iron gates to front of site flanked by cast-iron circular-profile piers.
Although now in a derelict state the symmetrical proportion of this house mark it out as a small country house rather than a farm house. Set within its own grounds with long drive the accompanying outbuildings, abutting wing and remains of entrance gates signify a structure that was once a fine building.
