Gardens House

Gardens House is a house built in the late 18th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and around 1908 by Ernest Newton for Richard Biddulph Martin, along with further changes in the mid-20th century. The building features coursed limestone rubble and a slate roof, characterized by gable-end parapets and ridge-end ashlar stacks with moulded cappings. It stands two storeys high with an attic that includes dormers. The house has three bays, with the outer bays featuring canted bay windows on the two main storeys, which contain central 12-pane sashes and 8-pane side sashes. There is also a 12-pane sash window on the first floor of the central bay. Above the outer bays are hipped-roofed dormers, each with a 3-light leaded casement, likely added by Newton. The central entrance is marked by a flat canopy supported by shaped brackets and a 6-panelled door, two of which are raised and fielded while the other two are glazed. Additionally, there is a 2-light ground floor casement in the north gable end facing the main road. The rear west elevation underwent alterations in the mid-20th century.
