Carr House

Carr House is a house dating from around 1830. It is built of hammer-dressed watershot stone with a graduated stone slate roof. The house follows a double-depth plan, with a two-storey facade, a three-storey rear, and a textile workshop on the top floor. The main entrance features an eight-panel door with an overlight, set within a rusticated surround and a keystone lintel. A similarly-styled taking-in door is located on the first floor. The front has five- and three-light windows on the ground floor, and five- and six-light windows on the first floor; all have recessed, flat-faced stone mullions. Plain stone eaves gutter brackets, coped gables, and gable chimney stacks are present. The gables incorporate one-, two-, and three-light windows. The rear elevation includes sash windows on either side of a central ground-floor door; it features three-, one-, and four-light windows on the first floor, and a seventeen-light window to the textile workshop on the second floor. Remnants of handwritten notes, believed to be accounts, remain on the walls of the workshop level. Numerous original doors, shutters, and other fittings contribute to the character of what was a wealthy clothier’s house.
