What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1890, with lower L-plan two-storey return to rear and possibly recent canted-bay windows to front elevation. Half-hipped artificial slate roof with rendered eaves course and rendered and having rendered and red brick chimneystacks to return part of house. Exposed rubble limestone walls to front elevation revealing segmental brick relieving arches to bay windows and painted smooth rendered elsewhere. Square-headed window openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with painted sills and red brick block-and-start surrounds. Round-headed window to centre of first floor of front elevation. Segmental brick-arched door opening having timber panelled door with stained glass side-lights and fanlight. Outbuilding to rear of site with pitched slate roof, roughcast rendered walls and flat-headed carriage entrances. Cast-iron gates set to rubble limestone piers and rendered sweep walls to front of site.
This house retains notable features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and fine doorcase, the carved panel detailing of the latter being an interesting feature. The absence of chimneystacks in the main house block is also unusual and noteworthy.
