Tinderry House

Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c.1750, with slightly lower two-storey return to west forming chamfer with main block, with lower two-storey addition and recent flat-roof porch to front. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls with render quoins. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows and replacement doors. Two-storey limestone rubble outbuilding to rear with pitched corrugated-iron roof, segmental carriage arch with dressed voussoirs, square-headed elsewhere and with slightly higher return with pitched slate roof and rendered chimneystack.

The uneven distribution of windows is perhaps the most striking feature of this house. The unusual elevation is enhanced by the textural interest of the wet dash walls with render quoins, and the patina of age of the natural slate roof. There is a notable chamfered re-entrant corner between the main block and the return to the west.
