Carrowcroft

Carrowcroft is a house built in 1875, constructed from sandstone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof and stone chimney stacks. It has a square plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, featuring three bays and flush quoins.

The front of the building is symmetrical, with a central solid porch that has a pair of partly-glazed four-panel doors set in a round-arched surround, complete with a projecting keystone and impost blocks. This is flanked by banded pilasters and topped with a pierced parapet above a cornice. The façade includes 12-pane sash windows and an arcaded parapet above the porch. On either side, there are canted bay windows that rise two storeys, each divided by a cornice and featuring 8+12+8-pane sashes and arcaded parapets. The gabled attics above the canted end bays have scrolled feet, crowning pediments, and single 12-pane sashes. The eaves cornice is prominent, and the roof is steeply pitched and hipped, with two corniced ridge stacks.

The left return of the building has two bays with 12-pane sashes and two identical attic bays. The right return features a central two-storey canted oriel window topped with an octagonal spirelet and ball finial, flanked by 12-pane sashes.

There are attached ancillary buildings at the rear, but these are not of special interest.
