Description

Preston Villa and the joiner's workshop to the rear were built around 1860. The house and workshop are constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and feature a Welsh slate roof with brick chimneys. The building has a T-plan layout and consists of two storeys with three bays. Notable architectural details include raised alternating quoins and surrounds, a panelled door with an overlight, and 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor, with shortened 9-pane sashes above. The eaves are supported by paired stone brackets, and the gabled roof has ridged coping and kneelers, along with corniced end stacks that have two conjoined shafts. To the left, there is a contemporary conservatory with vertical glazing bars and decorative cresting. The workshop, which forms the rear wing, is also two storeys tall and has four bays, featuring boarded double doors in the second bay, segment-headed boarded double doors in the fourth bay, and blacksmith-type windows elsewhere.
