Description
This is a house dating from the late 17th to early 18th century, with alterations made in the late 18th century and renovations around 1965. The house is constructed from coursed, squared gritstone rubble, with a roof covered in 20th-century cement tiles. It originally comprised two rooms with an outshut. The building is two storeys and has an attic, with two windows on the first floor. The corners are emphasised by large quoins, and a stone plinth wall runs along the right side, featuring a deep ledge. A 20th-century part-glazed door is set within an ashlar surround, slightly left of the centre. To the left of the door is a renewed window with a square-faced surround, containing three lights. A tall, double-chamfered mullion window with three lights is located on the right, with a smaller, similarly styled window above on the first floor. A recessed mullion is visible on the first floor to the left. The roof features moulded kneelers and gable copings, along with a low, roof-dormer on the right side. Corniced ashlar stacks are located at the left end of the building and along the ridge, left of the centre. The rear return side has two two-light and two single-light windows, all with double-chamfered surrounds; there is also an oculus at the apex of the roof.
