Description
Gaston House, including the front garden railings and gate, is a house built around 1840. It features a timber-framed and brick structure that is rendered, topped with a plain tile roof and red brick stacks, designed in the Tudor style. The building has two storeys and a basement, with a central range flanked by cross wings.
The central range has steps leading to a gabled porch that contains a half-glazed door with a Tudor-arched entrance under a hoodmould. It has mullion windows with pointed lights, also under hoodmoulds. The left wing's gable end features a crenellated square bay with mullions and a transom window with pointed lights, along with a similar two-light window above it, also under a hoodmould. The right wing has an external stack and a single casement window in its gable end. The house is adorned with bargeboards and an eaves course, and it has octagonal stacks.
The front garden is enclosed by iron railings and a gate, set against a white brick wall with piers. The railings and gate display Gothic motifs on a dwarf wall with polygonal piers. The interior has not been inspected.
