House

What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c. 1780, with later flat-roofed porch to front, now disused. Lobby entry plan. Hipped slate roof with limestone eaves course and rendered chimneystacks. Painted ruled-and-lined rendered walls with render quoins and plinth to front. Square-headed openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with limestone sills and having only three small timber casement windows to rear. Replacement timber door with steps. Outbuildings to front and rear have pitched slate roofs, rendered walls and square-headed openings.

The small size of the windows and their irregular positioning in the façade point to the vernacular nature of this building. The retention of the timber sashes and the slate roof add texture and visual interest to the structure. The house and related outbuildings form an interesting group and make a positive contribution to the roadside and the surrounding area.
