Description
Oakley House is a house built around 1830, with an extension added around 1840. It features painted brickwork and a roof made of corrugated concrete tiles.
The exterior is two stories high with three bays, and there is a taller two-window extension on the right. The original house has a central door that is set within a stuccoed doorcase, topped by a modest hood supported by consoles. To the right of the door, there is one 8/8 unhorned sash window, and on the first floor, there are two similar sash windows, all of which are set under segmental heads. There are no openings to the left of the doorway.
The extension has one 8/8 unhorned sash window on each floor in the left bay, also under segmental heads, and one 4/4 horned sash window on each floor to the right of these. Both parts of the house feature a dentil eaves cornice, and the extension has two ridge stacks.
On the left side, there is a tripartite unhorned sash window on the ground floor, arranged as 1/1, 2/2, and 1/1. The first floor has a canted bay window fitted with a late 20th-century French door that opens onto a timber balcony, topped by a hipped asbestos slate bay-window roof. The main gable has bargeboards.
The interior has not been inspected.
