Description
Quarry House is an early 18th-century house now divided into two occupations. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The west front, which faces the lane, has two storeys and consists of four bays, with bays two to four being rendered. The first two bays are a pair of late 18th-century cottages featuring quoins, paired doorways, and thin flat-faced mullioned windows with two lights on either side, with similar windows above (some mullions have been removed). The third bay has double chamfered mullioned windows with five lights on the ground floor and four lights above. The fourth bay is gabled and includes an inserted doorway with monolithic jambs and a single sash window on the first floor, along with a gable stack. The right-hand return wall consists of two bays, forming a double pile with gables and a two-span roof, featuring a string course. All windows on this side are double chamfered mullioned with square reveals and splayed mullions. The first bay has a four-light window with a taking-in door above, which has been reduced to a sash window. The second bay has a two-light window and an original doorway on the outer right-hand side, which bears a much-weathered datestone believed to record the year 1710 and the initials 'IIB', indicating that the original plan had a gable entry. Above this bay is a gable stack.
The east front has four bays, with the first two bays gabled and featuring a two-span roof. These bays have four-light windows on both floors, with a doorway situated between the ground floor windows. The second bay has a solid taking-in door to the first floor, where the string course terminates. Bays three and four are occupied by a single-storey outshot under a cat slide roof, which includes early 19th-century doorways and windows, likely added to the main range. The return wall features a wide gable and a doorway leading to a single-bay barn area, which has a post and queen strut truss braced to a post and arcade plate. This area may have originally served as a warehouse associated with textile manufacturing before the addition of the single-storey structure and the later pair of cottages facing the lane. The building also preserves a fine fire plaque numbered 126133.
