Description
Garnet House is a house that dates from the mid to late 17th century, with possibly earlier origins. It was cased and extended in the late 19th century. The building features a timber frame that is cased in red brick and has a steeply pitched roof made of slate and glazed pantiles. The layout consists of a three-cell lobby entrance plan and the house has two storeys.
On the ground floor, the entrance is slightly left of centre and is located in a porch that has been blocked, now featuring a casement window at the front. The ground floor also has leaded two-light casements with rendered, key-blocked lintels. The first floor has recessed 19th-century sash windows. A rebuilt ridge stack is present, and the left end has two-light casements with segmental heads and bargeboarded gables. The entrance has been moved to the rear.
At the rear centre, there is a 19th-century kitchen wing with a hipped roof, and to the rear right, there is a flint and brick outbuilding. Inside, the parlour on the left shows traces of possibly earlier framing and features stop-chamfered axial binding beams. The first floor was not inspected.
