Description
This is a 17th and 18th century house and laundry, now two separate dwellings, with an attached wall. The main building is painted render, with a wing and attached wall of coursed rubble, ashlar dressings, and roofs covered in concrete tiles with stone gable copings. A rear wing is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with an ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings, and features a roof of graduated stone flags.
The front of the building is arranged in three sections. The left section is two storeys high with three bays, featuring three-light horizontal sliding sashes in the first two bays and a two-light casement window above in a plain stone surround. The central section is two storeys high with three bays, containing a six-panel door within a pedimented architrave with a pulvinated frieze. It also has two plain sash windows above, and a full-height, inserted canted bay window to the right. The right section is a single high storey with six bays, incorporating an attached wall 12 bays in length. Number 34 (Garth Cottage) has a central half-glazed door and 20th century casement windows. The right wing has a four-panel door within a plain stone surround, a blocked carriage arch with a keyed round head and wide pilasters, a keyed vertical elliptical panel above the door, and a late 19th-century sash window in the blocked arch. The remaining bays contain varied 20th-century windows and a flat-topped half dormer. The roof of the left section has swept eaves and a plain left coping; the central section has moulded kneelers. There are three ridge chimneys (2:3:3), with the left end chimney square and corniced.
The rear wing of No. 32 is two storeys high with two bays, featuring renewed sash windows with glazing bars in plain stone surrounds under a high-pitched roof. A tall corniced side chimney is present. Inside, the left section has boxed beams. The central build showcases a flat Tudor-arched stone chimney piece in the right ground-floor room, along with a panelled dado and panelling similar in style to the inserted bay window. The entrance hall contains C17 panelling that was removed from Streatlam Castle. The rear wing drawing room features an ornately carved wood chimney piece and a stucco ceiling cornice with egg and bell-flower moulding.
