What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey rendered house, built c. 1830, with single-storey extension to rear (east) and hipped roof extension to south both c. 1990. Pitched artificial slate roof, unpainted smooth-rendered corbelled chimneystacks, extruded aluminium profiled rainwater goods. Painted smooth-rendered walls, recessed plinth, cut limestone quoins. Square-headed window openings, ashlar limestone surrounds, hood-mouldings, limestone sills, painted timber casements c. 1980. Square-headed door opening, ashlar limestone surround, hood-moulding, timber and glazed door screen c. 1980. Street fronted, enclosed yard to rear.
Possibly originally built as an estate office of some kind, the formal proportions and finely crafted limestone detailing of this little building are typical of nineteenth-century estate or demesne architecture. It stands out within the streetscape for the quality of its stonework and single-storey height on a street largely composed of two-storey buildings.
