Description
Nunnery House is a house, likely dating from the early 18th century, with remodelling occurring in the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed magnesian limestone rubble with a Welsh slate roof. The house is two storeys high and has four bays. Quoins are visible on the front elevation. The doorway in the second bay features a wide six-panel door with a fanlight containing radial glazing bars, set within a rusticated ashlar surround topped by a pediment supported by Doric columns. To the right of this doorway is an earlier, blocked doorway with quoins. The windows are sixteen-pane sashes with projecting stone sills; they have flush wooden architraves and channelled wedge lintels, with a narrower twelve-pane sash positioned above the doorway. Shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings are present on the left side of the building. A 20th-century brick ridge stack sits above the doorway, and a yellow brick end stack is located on the right. The right return side of the property clearly shows the raising of the eaves.
