What is recorded here

Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c.1840, with lean-to extension to north. Set within its own grounds. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles and ashlar chimneystacks. Pebbledash to gable ends and rear elevation. Random coursed stone to façade. Replacement uPVC windows with stone sills and red brick surrounds and tooled stone voussoirs to facade. Timber panelled door with spoked fanlight set within stuccoed surround. Five-bay two-storey outbuilding to rear with pitched tiled roof and rendered walls. Random coursed limestone wall bounding rear site.
Though this attractive and compact house, set within mature grounds, has been altered, it exhibits a simple symmetrical and well proportioned design. As a house of minimal enrichments, the ashlar chimneystacks stand out as a noteworthy feature along with the fine door surround. Together with its outbuilding, it makes for a picturesque site.
