Description
Sturgeons House is an early 19th century white brick house that stands two storeys tall. It features a five-window range with double-hung sashes that have glazing bars, set in plain reveals. A moulded stone string course runs between the two storeys. The entrance is marked by a central six-panel door, with the upper panels being glazed, and is sheltered by an Ionic porch that has plain columns, a frieze, and a cornice. The roof is hipped and covered with slate.
