What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c.1880. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls having rendered plinth band. Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills throughout, having render surrounds and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening within moulded render surround to front elevation, having timber panelled door with overlight. Double-height outbuilding to east, having pitched slate roof, roughcast rendered walls and square-headed openings with timber-framed windows. Rendered boundary walls with roughcast rendered square-profile piers having wrought-iron pedestrian gate.

The simple symmetrical form of this fine building makes it an eye-catching roadside addition. The use of slate, timber sash windows, moulded render and roughcast render add textural variation to its appearance.
