Description
No. 1 The Village is a house from the mid-19th century, built for the Brancepeth Estate. It is constructed of tooled snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a graduated green slate roof with ashlar chimney stacks. The building is designed in the Jacobean style and stands two storeys high with three bays, the right bay projecting and featuring a cross gable.
The house has a chamfered plinth and a central four-panel door with an overlight set in a moulded, shoulder-headed doorway. The windows are double-chamfered and stone-mullioned, with a cross window on the ground floor of the left bay and a corresponding window above in a gabled half dormer topped with ball finials. The right bay includes three-light windows and a shaped gable with chamfered coping and ball finials. The steeply-pitched roof has a coped left gable and a square kneeler with a ball finial.
There are corniced square-plan stacks with ornamental chimney pots at the left end and on the right ridge. The two-bay right return features cross windows on the ground floor and in identical half dormers, with a shaped gable at the rear. There are 20th-century rear additions that are not of interest. Nos. 1 to 12 form a continuous row of houses.
