What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, now derelict. Set back from road. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Timber sash windows with tooled stone sills. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door. Farmyard to rear with rendered outbuildings with pitched corrugated roofs. Set back from road with random coursed wall and timber gate to front of site.
This well proportioned and modestly designed house is enhanced by the retention of original features and fabric such as the timber sash windows and timber battened door. The building holds its old style charm and commands a prominent position within Rahan, making it a positive contributor to the village.
