Description

Golgotha is a house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features white-painted roughcast, likely over sandstone, and has a stone slate roof with rendered chimneys. The building has a two-unit plan, is two storeys high, and consists of three symmetrical bays. The central doorway has a moulded surround with long-and-short jambstones and an added wooden cornice supported by moulded brackets.

At the ground floor, there are two small windows that were originally mullioned two-light windows, and above, there are three more windows, all with recessed chamfered surrounds. The left ground floor window and the central first-floor window show the stumps of former mullions, but all windows are now casements. The house has a moulded eaves cornice behind the gutter and gable chimneys with water-tabling.

Attached to the front of the house is a garden wall that encloses a rectangular garden. This wall is made of large coursed sandstone rubble, approximately 1 meter high, and features ridged coping.
