What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two storey house, built c.1840. The façade is clad in slate, with large sections obscured by ivy growth. The hipped roof is slated with an overhang supported on paired brackets and rendered chimneystacks. The entrance is located within a large gabled porch and consists of a panelled timber door; the porch itself is now largely covered in ivy. The windows are flat-headed with timber sash frames, with those to the ground floor mainly four over four with margin panes. Cast iron rainwater goods. Gravel covered forecourt and extensive grounds to all sides.
This late Georgian style gentleman's residence of c.1840 is a fine, well maintained example of its genre and apart from the undoubtedly later (and undoubtedly necessary) slate cladding, appears largely original.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
