What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1830, with return to rear. Set within its own grounds. Hipped slate roof. Catslide and pitched roofs to rear. Rendered chimneystacks with terracotta pots and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Pebbledashed render to walls with smooth plinth. Replacement uPVC windows to stone sills. Modern stone surrounds with label mouldings to front facade. Timber panelled door with overlight and modern limestone surround. Dressed limestone step to door. Rendered boundary wall to rear site.
This modestly designed, well proportioned house retains its original form and scale though some original features and materials have been lost. The overlight to the door, with its stained glass, is particularly noteworthy and though the window and door surrounds appear to be modern, they enhance rather than detract from the façade. They reflect the original hoodmouldings that still exist on the Gothic style building nearby.
