What is recorded here

Detached two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1830, altered c. 1915, having canted bay window projection to front (south) elevation, lower multiple-bay single-storey block to west with circular-plan projecting flat-roofed window. Four-bay east elevation. Three-bay single-storey over half-basement block to rear (south). Hipped slate roofs with overhanging eaves, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with square-headed openings. Moulded render surrounds and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to east and front elevations. Fixed timber windows to canted bay window and circular-plan window. Replacement uPVC window to west block. Two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to rear block. Elliptical-headed door opening to front elevation with multiple pane fanlight and sidelights, timber panelled door and timber architrave, approached by flight of cut limestone steps.
Imposing form adds significantly to site and is enhanced by hipped roof with overhanging eaves and by wide door opening. Though altered in the early twentieth century, these alterations contribute to the character of this unusual building. The projecting window is a particularly interesting feature of the remodelling phase.
