house

Detached four-bay two-storey over basement house, built c.1815. Pitched slate roof and rendered chimneystacks. Lime-rendered walls. Timber sliding sash windows, six-over-three pane to first floor and six-over-six pane to ground, with limestone sills. Barred timber casement windows to basement. Recessed doorway having timber doorcase, wide cobweb fanlight, geometric-pane side-lights and timber panelled door with flight of limestone steps. Rendered stone outbuildings with slate roofs to rear. Rendered wall with pedestrian gateway to front.

This house retains all its principal exterior features including limestone steps up to the front door, doorcase with decorative side-lights, small-pane timber sash windows and lime render, all of which preserve the original character of the house. The building has added importance as one of five houses which make up the well-preserved group known as The Terrace, screened from the road by a row of mature beech trees. It is the largest and only detached house in the group.
