house

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1830, having recent two-bay entrance porch to front (west) elevation with hipped slate roof, and lean-to outbuilding to south gable. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings throughout, having timber sliding sash windows, two-over-two pane to front, rear (east) ground floor and north gable, and one-over-one pane to rear first floor, and having timber panelled door with plain overlight to north gable. Yard to front of house with three ranges of outbuildings. Five-bay single-storey outbuilding to south range, two-bay single-storey outbuilding with attic accommodation and external staircase to west range, both having pitched slate roofs, rubble stone walls, and square-headed and segmental-headed openings with timber battened fittings. Multiple-bay open-sided single-storey outbuilding to north range with pitched corrugated-iron roof and rubble stone walls. Enclosure with rubble stone walls to west of yard, having single-bay single-storey outbuilding to exterior (west) of west wall with pitched slate roof and rubble stone walls, multiple-bay single-storey outbuilding to interior (east) of west wall with lean-to corrugated-iron roof, rubble stone walls and boundary wall with wrought-iron pedestrian gates. Rendered boundary walls to north of house and yard with wrought-iron pedestrian gate, and with square-profile piers with recent vehicular gates to yard entrance. Rubble stone boundary walls to east of house site, having cut limestone square-profile piers with double leaf wrought-iron gates forming farm entrance.

Simple geometric forms create pleasing structure. Unusual positioning of doors, with carefully detailed door in opening in gable, other door opening to front elevation, and none at all to rear. Ground floor windows larger, possibly enlarged. Creates pleasing small group with outbuildings, adding architectural interest to rural road.
