Description
This is a house, possibly originally offices, dating to around 1870 in Barnard Castle. It is built of irregular, rock-faced stone with ashlar detailing at the plinth, quoins, and dressings. The roof is of graduated stone slates with a stone ridge, gable copings, and chimneys. The building is in a Gothic Revival style.
The house is two storeys and an attic, with a three-window front. Steps lead to a central door with six diagonally-boarded panels, set within a Gothic-style surround. The door has a shaped overlight in a pointed arch of moulded stone, incorporating nook-shafts and corbels surmounted by a shouldered head with decorated roll-moulded coping. Flanking the door are canted bay windows, also in a similar Gothic style, with four-pane sashes. A sill band runs along the first floor sashes, the central one being narrower than the others, which are also four-pane. The eaves have a corbelled gutter below the steeply pitched roof. Two gabled dormers feature shaped four-pane sashes and pierced bargeboards. The gable copings are supported by corbelled block kneelers. There are stone chimneys at each end of the building. The interior has not been inspected.
