house

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1930, having two-bay side elevations, canted bay windows to ground floor front (south-east) elevation, and single-storey lean-to extension to rear. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, paired timber corbels to eaves, yellow brick chimneystacks with moulded render cornices, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Hipped roofs to bay windows. Wet-dash rendered walls with render quoins and with sill course to first floor and render plinth and to sill course of bay windows. Square-headed window openings throughout, with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to front and side elevations, tripartite over entrance bay with moulded mullions. Square-headed door opening with over-light and replacement timber door, opening onto render platform with diminishing render step. Set in own grounds, with mature planting and with site entrance to south-east, having steel double-leaf gate, square-plan moulded concrete block piers and moulded concrete block curved flanking walls.

A well designed and executed house, the use of different render treatments to enhance and emphasise the form of the house is pleasing and serves to highlight the regularity of the fenestration. The yellow brick chimneystacks are a feature of the county and counterpoint the horizontal emphasis of the roof, creating a distinctive roof line visible from some distance and making the house a notable feature in the local landscape. A twentieth-century house built using traditional materials, its relatively recent age is indicated by the size and number of window panes, and the use of moulded concrete blocks for the entrance piers and gates.
