What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached five-bay three-storey house, built c. 1800, having recent porch addition to front, and two-bay two-storey extension to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and render eaves course. Pitched slate roof to extension. Rendered walls, except for exposed rubble stone west gable, façade having render plinth course and render sill courses to upper floors. Camber-headed openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, and having some replacement uPVC windows to ground floor. Limestone sills to ground floor. Blocked window to ground floor of west gable. Round-headed entrance doorway with fanlight and half-glazed timber panelled double-leaf doors, obscured by recent porch. Four-bay two-storey outbuilding to rear with pitched slate roof, painted rendered rubble sandstone walls, and square-headed louvered windows. Rubble sandstone masonry boundary wall attached, with elliptical-arched vehicular entrance with roughly dressed sandstone voussoirs. Two-bay single-storey gate lodge to east, having bay windows to front elevation, single-bay flat-roof extension to east, with hipped slate roof, rendered chimneystack, painted rendered walls with render plinth course and pilasters to corners, square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and render sills. Square-profile rendered piers with double-leaf cast-iron gates. Sweeping rendered walls with render copings to road entrance.

This substantial house is a fine example of the language of classical architecture stripped to its barest form. The façade retains a sombre elegance through the restrained use of ornamentation. The diminishing windows and the string courses delineate the floors of the house and emphasise the classical proportions of the façade. This site retains its outbuildings and gate lodge which enhance the setting of the house.
