Description
Portland House is an early 19th-century house, altered subsequently. It is built of rendered stone with hipped slate roofs. The house has a broadly rectangular plan, two rooms deep, with end stacks that are now hidden by later additions to the northeast and by The Cedars to the southeast, which are not included in the listing. There are two storeys, and the building has a 1:1:1 window arrangement, with a pedimented central break. The windows are single-vertical-glazing-bar sash windows. A central canted bay is present on the ground floor. The outer bays feature semi-circular headed doorways set within blank arches, each with a decorative fanlight and a partly-glazed door.
