Arford House

Arford House is an early 19th-century house with a lower wing, constructed of ashlar stone, stucco, and brick, and covered by a low-pitched slate roof. The main two-storey block is square, with a two-window facade on each of its three sides. The main walls are ashlar, with smooth stonework detailing the eaves fascia, a first-floor band, the plinth, and the surrounds of the window openings, which have a flush plain architrave, a thin moulded cornice, and a plain cill. The first-floor windows are coupled Gothic casements, while the ground floor windows are deeper. A glazed conservatory is attached to the south side; a filled window exists on the west, and the north side has an original doorway with a pointed arch, double doors, and Gothic half-glazing with decorative glass. A Victorian brick porch, featuring two arches (one a window), is located on the east side of the north elevation, leading to the original inner doorway. The lower east wing is partially hidden by a dipping parapet on the north front and features a hipped roof, a pointed lower window, and a half-glazed doorway on the south side. Inside, the house retains late Regency/early Victorian features, including a staircase, ceiling cornices, and a fireplace.
