What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1850, with single-storey return to the rear (east). Now no longer in use. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks having yellow terracotta octagonal pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on cut-limestone eaves course. Roughcast walls over rendered plinth and quoins to the corners. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Central round-headed door opening with timber panelled door and spoked fanlight. Set back from road with complex of single-storey outbuildings.

A good quality house, of balanced late-Georgian proportions, which retains its early form and character despite being in a semi-derelict condition. This unassuming building retains a great deal of its early fabric, including a natural slate roof, sash windows and a timber panelled door with spoke fanlight. A range of outbuildings and good quality entrance gates complete the setting of this house.
