Cooper House

Cooper House is a house built around 1800, with alterations made in the 20th century. It was constructed for Henry Cooper and features coursed squared stone with a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and consists of three main bays, with a fourth bay set back to the right. All openings have raised plain stone surrounds, and the windows feature raised sill bands. There is a plinth, a central six-panel door with a traceried overlight, and the ground-floor windows have been lowered to plinth level and are now shuttered. The first-floor windows have sashes that were added around 1985. The house has ashlar coping and multi-flue end stacks. The added bay is slightly lower but maintains the same style and has a hipped roof to the right. At the rear, there are three main bays, a central doorway, a canted bay window to the right, and a wide two-light flat-faced mullion window to the left. The first floor features a central round-arched stair window flanked by wide 16-pane sash windows. The interior has not been inspected. Henry Cooper leased the site and land by the canal in 1793, and by 1811 he had built Cooper House along with a large maltings that had a canal wharf, which was demolished or altered in 1867.
