Description
Slade House is a late 17th century or 18th century house that was extended in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and currently features a concrete tile roof with stone gable coping. The house has two storeys and attics, with two 20th century gabled dormers. The windows throughout are all 20th century casements with glazing bars. The eastern wing, added in the 19th century, is lower and also has two storeys, topped with a Welsh slate roof and large 20th century windows in the same style.
