What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-and-a-half-storey rendered house, built c. 1830. Central canted bay under gabled attic, hipped-and flat-roofed entrance porch to west gable. Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, unpainted smooth-rendered stepped and corbelled chimneystacks, concrete verge to west gable, painted timber projecting bargeboards to attic, moulded cast-iron gutters on paired corbels. Painted smooth-rendered walling, plain string courses at first and attic floor levels, moulded cornice below parapet to bay window. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted two-over-two timber sash windows, decorative cast-iron balcony on stone consoles to bay. Square-headed entrance door opening set within outer porch, painted timber panelled double doors. Extensive range of agricultural single- and two-storey outbuildings to north, pitched and hipped slate roofs, painted roughcast walling, slit ventilation openings, painted vertically-sheeted doors. Set in mature woodland, approached by long driveway from south, rubble stone boundary wall, wrought-iron flat-bar gate on cast-iron posts.
This unusual and much-altered house includes an elaborate cast-iron balcony. The substantial outbuildings survive almost totally intact as a testament to nineteenth century farming practices.
