What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1790, comprising two-bay two-storey extension and single-bay two-storey extension to rear (north) elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystack to extension. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings to first floor with eight-over-eight pane timber sliding sash windows and twelve-over-eight pane timber sliding sash window to ground floor. All having limestone sills. Round-headed opening with spoked fanlight over double-leaf timber panelled doors. Three-bay single-storey outbuilding to north having pitched corrugated-iron roof. Rubble limestone walls. Square-headed door openings. Three-bay single-storey outbuilding to north-west having single-pitched corrugated-iron roof with metal vents. Random rubble limestone walls. Square-headed door openings, now partially blocked up. Elliptical-headed carriage arch with rubble limestone voussoirs.
This is a notable example of an early Georgian house, with classical proportions. The slate roof with subtly diminishing in size slate, the eight-over-eight and twelve-over-eight timber sash windows and limestone sills enhance the architectural merits of the house. The outbuildings of the surrounding farm complex are also significant as they are good examples of workmanship used at the time of construction for agricultural buildings.
