Old Foundry House And Attached Gate Pier

Old Foundry House is an 18th-century building with an attached 19th-century gate pier. The house is rendered and colourwashed, featuring a dentil cornice and a pantile roof. It has two ranges with a rear wing addition and consists of three bays over two storeys. The windows are flush sash with glazing bars, and there is a four-panelled recessed door located between the second and third bays, which has panelled reveals beneath a shallow flat canopy. The left gable is rendered, while the right gable is made of uncoursed flint with erratic brick headers. The rear range is constructed of pebble flint with brick dressings and has a hipped pantile roof. A sash window on the first floor is set under a scored cast iron wedge lintel. There is also a 20th-century single-storey wing at the rear. The attached gate pier to the right of the house is a 19th-century structure made of rusticated gault brick, topped with a cast iron double cap. It features three front panels with cast iron plaques displaying decorative figures, and a cast iron cap on the plinth. Historically, there was an iron and brass foundry on this site in the 19th century.
