What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, having two-storey gabled projecting entrance bay, and single-storey addition to rear. Pitched slate roof with rendered end stacks with rounded caps, and with gabled rooflets to first floor windows with carved timber bargeboards. Lime-rendered rubble limestone walls with rendered plinth. Pointed windows to front elevation with cut limestone sills, timber panelled internal shutters and original switch-track glazing-bars to six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Chamfered Tudor-arch surround to exterior of entrance bay having mask above, and pointed inner doorway with timber panelled door and fanlight.
This is an unusual house, being in the early Gothic Revival style, but pre-dating the archaeologically based revival. Though bordering on ruinous it retains features of architectural interest
