South House

South House is a house dating from around 1780, constructed of red brick with stone dressings. It has a low-pitched valley roof and end wall stacks. The building follows a double pile plan and is two storeys high with a structural attic. The front elevation is regular in appearance, featuring a rendered stone cornice, a parapet, floor bands, and quoins. It has horizontal sash windows on the ground and first floors, with glazing bars, gauged brick heads, stone keystones with cornice strips, and stone sills. The attic floor contains three glazing bar sash windows with deystones. An arched doorway leads to a six-panel door, panelled reveals, a radiating bar fanlight, and an open, pedimented Roman Doric doorcase. The rear of the house has cambered head openings with casement windows, including a triple window with top lights to the first floor. Two horizontal bands are present on the rear, one brick and one stone. Two low barns are located to the rear, one of brick and one of stone. Attached to the south end of the stone barn is a stone, chamfered doorway with “AL 1673” carved above. The front south room contains Adam style decoration, including two fine curved niches with pilaster frames.
