Why it mattered

house — Arderly matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: An attractive early to mid-nineteenth century house, which retains its architectural integrity and form. The survival of the original slate roof and timber sash windows enhance its architectural heritage merit. A small mill settlement named Tremone with a large mill pond is shown on the Ordnance Survey first edition six-inch map of c. 1837. However this building appears to be later and is shown on the Ordnance Survey twenty-five inch map series (1888-1913) and the settlement is renamed as Arderly. The renaming probably coincided with the building of the nearby former Coastguard Station. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
