Yealand House

Yealand House is a house dating from the early to mid-19th century. The exterior is pebbledashed, with a dressed limestone porch and doorway, and has a slate roof. The south front has six bays, with gabled projections on each side, featuring swept roofs and exposed purlin ends. Windows are sash windows with margin lights, except for the two right-hand ground floor windows which are simple sashes. Windows are detailed with labels of square section, plain reveals and projecting sills. A recessed central two-bay section contains a porch with two octagonal piers, capitals and bases, two responding elements, and chamfered lintels. The inner doorway is flanked by two windows, all with plain limestone surrounds. A string course runs from the south wall along the east wall, which has four bays with similar windows. The third bay of the east wall is recessed, and the fourth is gabled. The west wall has sash windows of varying designs. Later extensions are present at the rear. Inside, a stone staircase has a swept handrail with iron stick balusters and wrought iron infill. The upper floor features an oval well with a similar handrail, capped with a glazed conical skylight.
