Description
This is a mid-19th century house built for the Brancepeth Estate. It is constructed of tooled snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, and has a graduated green slate roof with rebuilt brick chimney stacks. The house is in a Jacobean style. The right section is two storeys and two bays wide, while the left bay is a tall, projecting cross-gabled wing of two storeys and an attic. A chamfered plinth runs along the base. The centre bay features a replaced door and overlight in a moulded surround with a shouldered head. The windows are double-chamfered and stone-mullioned. The right section has a three-light mullioned-and-transomed window on the ground floor, and two cross windows above in gabled half dormers with ball finials. The wide left bay has an identical three-light window on the ground floor, a cross window above, a single light in the attic, and a shaped gable with ball finials on the footstones and apex. The three-bay left return has similar features, including a shouldered doorway flanked by three-light windows and cross windows in three gabled half dormers, topped with ball finials. A shaped gable is also present on the rear of the wing. The roofs are steeply pitched, and there are two rebuilt ridge stacks on the roof of the right part. Numbers 1 to 12 form a continuous row.
