Point House

Point House is a house dating from circa 1700, with alterations and possible rebuilding to the east in the later 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with slate and black pantiled roofs. The building has a ‘T’ shaped plan and rises two and a half storeys to the west, and two storeys to the right. The western section has one window, displaying a rendered plinth, a moulded brick platband and eaves. It has a brick kneeler to the parapet gable. A 19th-century door and window were inserted on the ground floor. A 19th-century three-light window is located on the first floor within a reduced opening, featuring a wrought iron casement and transom. A 20th-century wedge dormer and a west gable stack are also present. The eastern section comprises three bays, with a central shallow projection bay and end pilasters, and has five windows. The central entrance has a six-panel door with raised and fielded panels, surmounted by a semi-circular fanlight with glazing bars. The doorcase is timber and features a projecting broken pediment, Doric pilasters and an entablature. Sash windows with glazing bars are set within flat-gauged brick arches. Timber modillion eaves, a rear 20th-century wedge dormer and end stacks complete the exterior.
