Mount Carmel

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820, with slightly lower two-bay two-storey return and two-bay single-storey addition to rear and later porch and canted-bay window additions to front elevation. Hipped slate roof, pitched to return, with rendered chimneystacks to ends and cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, bay windows having one-over-one pane to side windows, all with limestone sills, continuous to bay windows. Flat-roofed porch to front having eagles to corners of roof, render pilasters with plinths, square-headed door opening with double-leaf timber panelled door with paned and panelled sidelights and paned overlight. Hipped-roof porch to return with fishscale slates, decoratively carved timber corner post and decorative depressed arch timber detail to overlight, and having glazed timber door. Decorative double-leaf wrought-iron gates set to dressed limestone piers with caps and plinths to front of site.

The simple form of this house is enhanced by later features such as the canted-bays and front porch. The rear porch exhibits good timber detailing and the house retains its timber sash windows. Its setting is pleasant, with a garden to the front accessed through a dressed limestone gateway with decorative metal gates.
