Heath House

Heath House is a farmhouse that underwent early 19th-century remodelling of an earlier structure. The west facade is rendered, while the building features stone rubble and a hipped slate roof with deep eaves and integral brick eaves stacks. It has a double pile plan and stands three storeys tall.

The west facade facing the garden has a three-window range, with the central bay slightly advanced. This bay includes a thermal window in an ashlar surround above a ground-level hipped canted bay that has a glazed doorway and top light, both surrounded by perimeter glazing. The second floor features a blocked mullioned three-panel window surround, supported by bracket scrolls on each jamb. The side bays contain single 2/2 sash windows on the ground and first floors, and a horizontally-sliding sash window on the second floor, all with plain ashlar surrounds.

The east front facing the farmyard also has a three-window range, with a central two-storey projecting canted bay topped by a parapet that divides the two roof hips. There is a box gutter with an ornamental downpipe hopper beside the bay. The central bay has a tall three-light casement window flanked by leaded three-light casements, all with brick segmental arches. The second floor has flanking windows that are leaded three-light casements. The ground floor features a tall central glazed panelled door, flanked by plain boarded doors and a two-mullion and transom window with a brick segmental-arched lintel. The sides of the building are partly obscured by ground-floor lean-to extensions, with central windows that have brick segmental arches, now blocked or altered.

Inside, the central bay on the west side contains an early 19th-century helical sandstone ashlar staircase with open risers and a curved oak handrail made of composite beaded sections, complemented by hollow chamfered cast-iron balusters. The ground-floor front has moulded cornices, architraves, skirtings, and plain six-panelled doors throughout. The rear rooms feature deeply chamfered bridging beams.
