Read the whole record

Detached four-bay three-storey house, built c.1920. Recent canted bay (south-east) and extension to rear (north-west). Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with rendered sill courses. Square-headed openings with six-over-six timber sliding sash windows and concrete sills. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Outbuilding to side (south-west) and gardens to rear. Recent rubble stone wall with piers.

This attractive and imposing building may once have functioned as something more that a house. Its three-storey form and scale are unusual in rural areas. The façade of the building is enlivened by the timber sliding sash windows and continuous sill courses.
