Description
This building is a house located opposite the junction with Church Lane on Estcourt Road in Darrington. It is probably from the late 18th century and is constructed from coursed dressed sandstone with a 20th-century tile roof and brick chimneys. The house has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a single-depth four-unit front range with a rear wing on the left side.
The house is two storeys high and has five bays. There is a plain doorway in the fourth bay, which features an overlight, and above it, there is a 12-pane sash window. The remaining windows consist of four 16-pane sashes on each floor. All openings have flat-arched heads with gauged voussoirs and raised stone sills. The gables are adorned with stone copings, and there are gable chimneys along with a central ridge chimney. The right-hand gable wall has a small chamfered opening that is blocked. The rear and rear wing have been altered and are of less interest. At the time of the survey in 1987, the building was derelict, with some windows boarded and all exposed panes broken. The interior was not inspected, but the ground floor windows have internal shutters.
