Quarry House

Quarry House is a house built around 1840, with extensions added in the late 19th century, designed in the Tudor Gothic style. It features coursed and squared sandstone construction, a slate roof for the main house, and concrete tiles for the service range. The house has parapet gable ends supported by kneelers and end stacks with entablatures. It has a symmetrical facade with a central gabled porch that includes a parapeted gable and both outer and inner arches with a 4-centred design. There are three unglazed loop openings in the side walls and a half-glazed door. Flanking the porch are two-storey canted bays with hipped roofs, each containing a hung sash window in a 4-centred moulded arch. An extension built in 1886 for Mr. Pemberton, the County coroner, is noted, with the date inscribed on the fireplace. This date may also correspond to other additions to the service range on the northwest side. Inside, the dining room features reset early 18th-century raised and fielded panelling in two heights. The house is linked to a sandstone quarry located about 50 metres to the southeast.
