Description
Oakhurst is an early 19th-century building that was formerly two cottages. It is constructed from plastered clay lump with a brick plinth and features a low-pitched hipped slate roof. The building stands two storeys high and has three widely spaced windows, which are early 19th-century 3-light casements with glazing bars. There are two moulded and panelled doors set within doorcase architraves that include roundels in the frieze. At the rear and south end, there is a lean-to structure.
