What is recorded here

Detached L-plan three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1900, with lean-to two-storey addition to north-east, and having single-storey extensions, pitched to west gable and lean-to to rear. Pitched slate roofs to main block, with timber bargeboards to gables, red brick chimneystacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls, with moulded string course between floors, and stepped plinth course. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills and timber sliding sash six-over-two pane windows. Segmental-headed window openings to north-east addition, with metal frame ten-over-ten pane hopper windows. Pointed segmental arch entrance opening with render surround, timber panelled door, and plain overlight, with concrete step. Rendered and random rubble stone boundary wall, with timber gate having square-profile timber posts. Red brick capped piers to east.
This is an attractive and well-maintained house. Its fenestration and pointed doorway distinguish it from other buildings in the town. It setting, with garden and boundary walls, remains intact.
