What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1810, having lean-to to west elevation and three-bay single-storey extension to rear (north) elevation. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, render eaves course and limestone copings. Rendered walls having render strip quoins, plinth course and stringcourse. Square-headed openings with ornate render surrounds, painted stone sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed opening having paired Doric style engaged columns, entablature, dentilated cornice and glazed overlight over double-leaf timber panelled doors with flanking sidelights. Pair of rendered square-profile piers having ball finial caps and single-leaf cast-iron gate. Rendered boundary walls having ornate cast-iron railings.
This modestly sized house, typical of such structures of its era, is distinguished by the use of high quality materials such as the limestone copings to roof and ornate render details to the façade. The subtly diminishing windows are a characteristic feature, which add interest to the different floors. The composition of the site is enhanced by the boundary walls and piers with decorative cast-iron railings and gate.
