The Outpost

The Outpost is a house built in the late 18th century, with later additions. It is constructed from watershot hammer-dressed stone, featuring a pebble-dashed extension to the right and a stone slate roof. This double-depth L-shaped house has three storeys, a continuous outshut at the rear, which is believed to date from the 1920s, and a porch wing on the right. The building has quoins and a projecting plinth. Each floor features 6-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion windows with king mullions. There are also 1 and 2-light windows in the gable, some of which are from the 20th century, along with a blocked door leading to the rear outshut. A gable chimney stack completes the structure.
