What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, having recent extension to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth render quoins. Square-headed window openings with render surrounds, having painted masonry sills and replacement uPVC windows. Elliptical-headed door opening with timber panelled door flanked by fluted pilasters and sidelights and having spoked fanlight. Outbuildings to rear, having pitched slate roofs, rendered walls and square-headed openings. Entrance to north, comprising roughcast rendered round-plan piers having conical capstones.
Despite the loss of original windows, this house retains its form and scale, and is typical of middle-sized houses built in the Georgian era, although the iconic style remained popular up until the twentieth century. The paired chimneystacks and tall windows provide a vertical counterpoint to the horizontal emphasis of the broad frontage. The formal properties of the house are enhanced and emphasised by the render dressings.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
