Tarbrook House

Detached three-bay two-storey country house, built c. 1870, having two-storey addition and two-storey extension to rear (west) elevation. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves and rendered chimneystacks. Pitched slate roof to addition with timber bargeboards and rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and painted sills. Elliptical-headed opening with fanlight over replacement half-glazed door and sidelights. Three-bay single-storey outbuilding abutting south elevation. Pitched slate roof. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings. Four-bay single-storey outbuilding to south having pitched slate roof. Roughcast rendered walls with render strip quoins. Square-headed openings, some with remains of two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed openings with metal half-doors. Eight-bay single-storey outbuilding to south with gable to centre-bay. Pitched corrugated-iron roof. Rubble limestone walls. Square-headed window openings, some having brick surrounds. Pair of round-profile cast-iron piers with double-leaf cast-iron gates. Spear-headed cast-iron railings to site.

This modest house retains much of its original form despite additions to the rear. The house represents the enduring popularity of the simple three-bay two-storey architectural form over the centuries. The outbuildings are particularly interesting and contribute to the setting of the site.
