Description

Rob Royd is a house that likely dates from the early 18th century, with early 19th-century alterations including new windows and additional structures at the rear. It is built from rubble sandstone and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan with extensions in the rear-left corner.

The house is two storeys tall and features three windows on the first floor. It has large quoins, and the doorway, located to the left of center, has a margin-light-glazed door set within a wooden architrave topped by a bracketed cornice. The flanking windows and the window on the far left are sashes with glazing bars, framed in raised square-faced surrounds with projecting sills. The window on the far right is a 16-pane sash. On the first floor, the windows are also sashes with glazing bars in similar surrounds.

Additional decorative features include cast-iron gutter brackets and shaped kneelers with ashlar gable copings. The left end stack is made of ashlar and has a moulded string, an offset, and a corniced shaft. There is a larger ridge stack to the right of center that is similar in style. On the right side of the building, there is a square, single-storey bay window beneath a sash with glazing bars.
