What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey former railway worker's house, built c.1865. The house is constructed in rubble granite with brick dressings and some granite quoins. To the rear there is a large late 20th century extension and a canted bay has been added to the south gable. The window openings are flat-headed with mainly two over two timber sash frames. The pitched roof is finished with natural slate with cast-iron rainwater goods; eaves are slightly overhanging and bargeboards are plain. Chimneystacks are brick with slightly corbelled caps and clay pots. The house faces the road and is slightly set back behind a low fieldstone wall with a timber gate.
This modest house would appear to have been constructed for a railway worker. Later additions have given it a somewhat picturesque appearance which adds to the heritage of the area.
