The Nunnery

Two houses, known as The Nunnery, were built in the early 19th century. They are constructed of dressed stone with ashlar detailing, a felted roof (likely originally stone slate), and stand two storeys high with an attic. The building is five bays wide and features a stone base, quoins, a cornice, and coped gables, with ball finials on the left-hand gable. The windows are sashed with glazing bars, with the second bay of the ground floor featuring paired windows with single-bar sashes. Three gabled dormers, each with a small-paned round-headed light and side lights, are visible in the roof. A round-headed recess is located to the right of the first-floor window in the third bay. The round-headed entrance in the fourth bay has a fanlight with glazing bars and paired half-glazed doors. Five stacks are positioned cross-axially. A hexagonal cupola, supported by Tuscan columns, sits at the right-hand end of the building. The left return has a round-headed entrance and a stair window, while the right return shows a blocked large elliptical-headed entrance, a sashed window, and windows with horizontally sliding sashes to the first floor. A clock face is situated at the top of the building, flanked by lozenge vents. The rear elevation is similar to the front, with dormers featuring horizontally sliding sashes. The building is believed to have been a school run by nuns from The Mount.
