What is recorded here
Detached seven-bay two-storey house, c.1860, now derelict. Roughcast rendered finish with breeze-blocked windows. Some timber casement windows to the first floor. Projecting single-storey porch to the centre bay. Half-hipped slate roof with rendered chimney stacks. Roughcast rendered boundary walls with rendered, ruled and lined gate piers having caps bearing remains of house name. Cast-iron pedestrian gate. Rere extension with pitched slate roof and chimney stack to gable end. Range of stone rubble outbuildings to rere and east. House possibly originally single-storey and earlier.
A handsome detached house, which retains much original fabric. Obviously originally a building of some significance in the area, it retains some of this air despite its poor condition.
