What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1870, with bay windows and porch to front (south) elevation, four-bay two-storey projecting block with gablet and three-bay single-storey extension to rear (north). Skirt slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and overhanging eaves with timber brackets. Single-pitched roof to rear block. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render quoins and plinth course. Render cornices to bay windows and porch. Square-headed openings having limestone sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed opening to rear elevation, first floor with one-over-one pane timber sliding margin sash window with coloured glass to margins and limestone sill. Elliptical-headed opening with glazed overlight over timber panelled door with flanking sidelights. Limestone threshold to entrance. Flight of recent limestone steps and boundary walls to front. Pair of square-profile render over limestone piers to east with carved caps having adjoining wall with pedestrian entrance.
This well maintained house is enlivened by the render details and the bay windows, which add interest to the façade. Features such as the slate roof and sash windows enhance the character of the building. The rear elevation is particularly interesting, retaining its gablet and sash coloured glass window.
