The Retreat

This is a 17th-century house that was significantly remodelled and extended in the late 19th century. The original section, located on the southwest side, is two stories high with attics. It’s constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a clay pantile roof. The original section features two red brick gabled dormers, three first-floor casement windows with glazing bars under timber lintels, and on the ground floor, a casement window with glazing bars, a central open-sided, gabled porch, and a bay window. The 19th-century addition, to the northeast, is the same height but two stories. It has two first-floor casement windows and gables above with mock timber-framing, wavy-edged bargeboards, and terracotta finials. The ground floor features a large central bay window.
