What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey house, built c.1940, with flat roof extension to rear (east). Pitched pantile roof with rendered chimneystacks and copings with uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with render sills, having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to end bays and tripartite window with central six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and three-over-three pane flanking sliding sash sidelights. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber door. Set within own grounds enclosed by rendered wall with square-profile gate piers.
Modest rural dwellings such as this were built to a standard plan by the local authority in the mid twentieth century. They are simple in design, following the lines of vernacular architecture, but incorporate features such as the tripartite timber sash windows and pantile roof which formalise their appearance. This is a particularly interesting example of this type, as it retains much of its original fabric intact.
