Description
Two houses, dating to circa 1863 and designed by S.S. Teulon for Rev. Daniel Capper. They are constructed from roughly squared sandstone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, and have roofs of blue-grey slates, with some green slates. Stone and brick chimneys are present.
The main portion is a single storey, with four bays and a left-hand pent roof. An additional one-storey, one-bay extension is present to the right. Boarded doors are set in two-centred arches within the outer bays. The three-light windows in the inner bays are beneath gabled half-dormers. The left-hand house features wood mullioned-and-transomed windows with glazing bars. The right-hand house has a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and a sash window with vertical glazing bars in the dormer.
The roofs are steeply pitched, and a tall chimney is positioned centrally at the front. This chimney features a banded shaft below a tall brick top section, with a triangular projection at the centre and a top cornice. A left-hand extension is partially obscured by a greenhouse. Much of the original wrought iron door furniture remains.
