What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c. 1810, with gabled porch to front (south-west ) elevation and abutting outbuilding to north elevation. Pitched slate roof, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with mixed one-over-one and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows having painted sills. Square-headed opening with timber and glazed door set in porch. Abutting outbuilding having pitched corrugated-iron roof and rubble limestone walls. Square-profile rendered piers with flanking render side walls to front of site.

Although vernacular in design, this building displays elements of architectural detailing visible in its symmetrical façade. The house still retains its original form and many of its modest features such as the timber sash windows. Still in use as a farmhouse, it retains its original function.
