Fortlaurel House

Detached three-bay two-storey rendered house, built c. 1855. Rectangular on plan, single-storey flat-roofed crenellated porch to north elevation, two-storey return to east, two-storey flat-roofed extension to south-west. Hipped slate roof with red clay hip tiles, crested ridges, painted smooth-rendered chimneystacks with heavily flaunched caps, moulded cast-iron gutters. Painted roughcast walling, smooth-rendered porch and plinth. Square-headed window openings, painted masonry sills, painted plain-glazed timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening, painted six-panel timber door, plain-glazed overlight. Set in extensive lawns, approached by gravel driveway from north-west. Rubble stone, pitched roof, agricultural building to south-west.

This well-sited and pleasingly proportioned house, approached by a winding driveway and set in extensive grounds, is a well-maintained example and largely intact representative of a common type.
