Description

Guelders is a house built around 1840, featuring an 18th-century wing on the right. The main section is constructed of yellow gault brick and has a low-pitched slate roof. It stands two storeys tall with plain piers at each end. The front has three flush sash windows, each topped with yellow gauged brick lintels. The central door, which dates from the 20th century, is set in a roll-moulded wood surround and has a flat hood supported by shallow consoles. The 18th-century wing has a painted brick ground floor and a weatherboarded upper floor, with one glazing bar casement window on the ground floor and a later casement window above.
