What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached three-bay two-storey L-plan house over basement, built c.1860, with flat-roofed porch to front, and three-bay south elevation. Hipped natural slate roof with paired timber brackets to eaves, pair of smooth rendered chimneystacks to mid-ridge and one to return with rendered copings and terracotta pots. Smooth rendered walls with rendered block-and-start quoins and rendered plinth course. Square-headed window openings, with replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door to south-east side of porch. Yard of outbuildings to rear, one with pitched corrugated-iron and slate roofs and rubble stone walling. Recent double-leaf metal gate and railings to road frontage.

This is a classic example of a middle-sized L-plan house, with good render detailing. The porch entrance to the front emphasises the symmetry of the facade, and the yard of outbuildings provides context.
