Stand House

Detached multi-bay two-storey house, built c. 1830. Flat-roofed single-storey porch projects to west side of front elevation, single-storey extension to west. Steeply pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, unpainted smooth-rendered chimneystack rising from south elevation, half-round cast-iron gutters, cast-iron downpipe. Unpainted roughcast walling, smooth-rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings, smooth-rendered reveals, limestone sills, hardwood casement windows c. 1990. Square-headed door opening to porch, painted timber door c. 1990. Road fronted on corner site. Barn with external stone steps on gable to south-east corner of site.

This unusual house with its steeply pitched roof and no upper windows is a dominant feature in the rural landscape. Its unusual shape may hint at an interesting past. An attractive stone barn also survives.
