Description
Byre House is an estate worker's house, likely built in the late 18th century. It features painted render with ashlar dressings and a roof made of graduated Lakeland slates, topped with ashlar chimneys. The building is designed in the Gothick style and has two storeys with two wide bays. There is a filleted boarded door to the right of the first bay, which has a diamond-shaped glass panel set in a hollow-chamfered Tudor-arched surround. The late 19th-century sash windows also have similar surrounds. The embattled parapet with chamfered ashlar coping nearly conceals the roof and is complemented by banded end chimneys. A moulded round hopper head is located at the centre of the parapet, along with a renewed cast-iron rainwater pipe.
