Description

This is an early 18th-century house, originally a single building, now divided into two separate dwellings. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The house has two storeys and features quoins and a drip course that extends over the ground floor windows. It consists of two main sections. The windows are double-chamfered mullioned, with those on the front elevation containing five lights plus a four-light section separated by a king mullion. One window is an eight-light design, missing four mullions, and another is a six-light design, also lacking mullions. Two 19th-century doorways are positioned between the ground floor windows. Chimneys with gable stacks are present. The left-hand return wall incorporates a three-light double-chamfered mullioned window and a doorway with 19th-century jambs, featuring a blocked-up taking-in door above. The rear of the building has double-chamfered mullioned five-light windows on the ground floor, along with altered windows with chamfered surrounds. The layout is double pile, with rooms arranged on either side of a central passage, and covered by a single-span roof. A rear range of the building was formerly associated with textile manufacture.
