Description
This is an early 19th century house, with later 19th century additions to the rear. Built of brick in an English garden wall bond, it has Welsh slate roofs and brick chimney stacks. The house is arranged in a reversed U-shape, with a main block joined to two wings at right angles to the rear.
The front of the house, facing the garden, is two storeys high and three bays wide. It has a stone plinth, a central blocked doorway flanked by canted bay windows with elongated sashes. A band runs horizontally between the two storeys. The upper windows are 12-pane sashes, set within rubbed-brick flat arches. A stone eaves cornice sits above, topped by a low parapet. The roof is low-pitched and hipped, with two ridge stacks.
The side returns have 12-pane sashes. On the left return, there's a replaced door with 12-pane side lights, all under a patterned overlight, set within a painted stone surround with pilasters and an entablature. The right return has a round-arched stair window on the rear elevation.
The two-storey wings are lower in height. The wing on the left return has a replaced door, 12-pane sashes, and a low-pitched roof. The wing on the right rear is five bays wide and features a central four-panel door. It also has mainly 12-pane sashes and a low-pitched roof; at ground-floor level is an arcade of three segmental arches overlooking a yard.
