Description

Rake House is a farmhouse, now a house, built in 1807. It is constructed of Flemish bond brown brick and has a graded grey slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features three windows; it originally had two windows, but a two-storey, one-room bay was added to the left side, likely in the early 19th century.

The entrance has a wide half-glazed door with margin panes and fielded lower panels, set in a moulded case with corner roses, located centrally in the right portion. The windows are 16-pane sashes, recessed in the right portion and flush in the left portion, which has pale headers. The window arches are slightly cambered and gauged in brick, with those on the left portion being more sharply curved. Above the door, there is a stone inscribed with "E.H. 1807." The house has three diminishing brick chimneys.

There is a taller rear wing from the late 19th century, but it does not have any notable features. The interior has not been inspected. Attached farm buildings, dated EH 1826 and converted into dwellings, are not included in this listing.
