What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, having two-storey return to rear. Hipped slate roof, catslide over return, with overhanging eaves, rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth. Square-headed timber sliding sash six-over-six pane windows throughout, tripartite to ground floor front, all with painted raised reveals and painted sills. Square-headed entrance doorway with replacement glazed timber door with painted raised surround. Single-storey outbuilding to south-east end with pitched slate roof. Ornate cast-iron railings and pedetrian gate to front of site, with rubble limestone plinth walls having cut limestone copings.

This house forms part of a former mill complex at the edge of Knocklofty Demesne. It retains timber sash windows and its slate roof. The tripartite windows and the fine cast-iron railings add interest to the site. Its roadside setting and the industrial buildings forming a backdrop, create a significant local landmark.
