Description

The Green and front garden wall is a house and garden wall dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of squared rubble and features a graduated slate roof with stone chimney stacks.

The building has two storeys and four bays, with flush tooled-and-margined quoins. The third bay contains a four-panel door and a fanlight with intersecting tracery, set in an archivolt with a cornice hood. The windows are 16-pane sashes with projecting chamfered sills and flush keyed lintels. The roof has coped gables and shaped kneelers, with stepped-and-corniced end stacks and an identical ridge stack on the left. There is a round-arched, mid-wall stair window with an intersecting-tracery head at the rear.

Inside, there is a two-flight cut-string dogleg staircase with stick balusters and a ramped handrail, along with several six-panel doors in architraves.

The garden walls include a low front section with chamfered coping and a pair of narrow stone gate piers with shaped tops, as well as slightly taller return sections to the house. There is an attached single-storey, gabled rear wing that is not of special interest.
