Description
The property comprises a three-storey former engine house with later extensions, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The original engine house is constructed of coursed, squared, buff-sandstone rubble with a Kerridge stone-slate roof, while later extensions have Welsh slate roofs.
The engine house appears as two storeys on the east side and three storeys on the south and west sides due to changing ground levels. The west elevation has two bays, featuring tall, multipaned casement windows with slender stone lintels and sills on the ground and first floors. A doorway with a later studded door is located on the ground floor to the right. The uppermost storey is blank, although a 20th-century, four-light multipaned casement window is inserted into the gable of the south return, where the engine house's beam would have originally projected. A late 19th/early 20th-century, two-storey, lean-to extension, built of similar materials, is attached in front of the window. This extension was rebuilt in 2008 and features a multipaned casement window on the ground floor west side and another on the first floor south side. A small, single-storey, late 19th-century lean-to outbuilding is attached to its east side. A single-storey kitchen extension, dating to 2008 and not of special interest, projects from the south-west corner of the rebuilt extension. The east elevation of the engine house has a late 19th-century external rubble-stone stair with sandstone slab treads and a simple wrought-iron balustrade. A substantial, whitewashed-stone, external boiler stack, now truncated, is attached to the north-east corner and is part of the neighbouring property.
Internally, the building has been converted for domestic use and significantly altered in the 20th and 21st centuries. Original machinery has been removed, and most areas have been modernised, although some early ceiling beams remain. The ground floor contains a lounge and an entrance/stair hall, which extends into the rebuilt Victorian extension. The lounge has a blocked-up opening in the north wall, likely used for machinery components. A stair flight with a winder leads up to a landing accessing a bathroom. A step up leads to a narrow hallway running alongside the eastern wall, with a bedroom off to the west. A stair flight, lit by a modern skylight, accesses two rooms on the second floor and the external stair.
