Description
Rhystone is a house, probably from the 18th century, with minor alterations. It is timber-framed with painted brick infill and pebble-dash render, featuring a later brick lean-to at the rear and to the east, topped with a slate roof. The building consists of two framed bays aligned east to west, facing south, with an entrance left of center and a central stack. It is a single storey with an attic and has two mid-19th century cast iron windows to the right of the doorway, which has a gabled canopy and a ledged door. The framing, largely intact beneath the render, is visible on the east gable end, showing three square panels from the sill to the wall-plate with V-struts in the gable and weatherings above the lintel of the attic window. The interior remains generally unaltered.
