Cheswick House

Cheswick House is a country house built between 1859 and 1862 by architect F.R. Wilson for William Crossman. The house is constructed of ashlar stone with a Welsh slate roof, while the service wing is made from rock-faced stone. It features an irregular plan and is designed in the High Victorian Gothic style, standing two to three storeys high.

The entrance side consists of four sections, each with three narrow bays. The second section is a three-storey tower that includes a six-panel door with a fanlight and sidelights. On the first floor, there are round-headed windows and a balcony supported by large moulded corbels, with a parapet that has pierced circles. The second floor features three similar windows with tracery, displaying heads of sexfoil circles in the outer lights and an eight-pointed star in the centre light, along with a balcony that has similar corbels and an iron parapet. The tall top parapet is adorned with blank Romanesque arcading.

The flanking sections are cross-gabled, each containing three round-headed windows on the ground floor and three windows on the first floor with similar tracery to that of the tower. The gables are decorated with pierced quatrefoils surrounded by small circles. The right section includes a two-storey canted bay window with three round-headed windows on the ground floor, and on the first floor, each light features tracery of two trefoils with two circles above and an open arcaded parapet. The house has steeply-pitched gabled roofs and tall ridge and end stacks, each topped with small gabled roofs over the chimney pots. The left return of the house has similar detailing, while the right return features a long two-storey service wing with 12-pane sash windows.
