The Laurels

The Laurels is a house dating to 1818, bearing the initials "W.T." (William Todd). The south front is of squared stone, with rubble returns, partially pebbledashed. It has tooled-and-margined quoins and tooled dressings. The roof is of graduated Lakeland slate, except for 20th-century metal sheets on the single-storey section.

The house is two storeys high with a two-bay gable end facing the road. It has four-pane sash windows within stone surrounds, featuring projecting sills. A band runs below a coped gable, which has moulded kneelers; a datestone is set into the gable and a moulded finial sits at the apex. To the left of the main facade is a single-storey bay with a similar window and a parapet front with flat coping.

The right return features a six-panel door within a stone surround, sheltered by a hood on moulded brackets, incorporated into a later 19th-century castellated porch. Above the door is a four-pane sash window in a raised stone surround, and to the right is a second stone-surround doorway which is now blocked. The left return displays a twelve-pane sash stair window within a raised stone surround and two banded lateral stacks. A gabled rear elevation completes the building.
