Cardew House

Cardew House is a large house dating from the mid-18th century, with early and late 19th-century elements. It is constructed of brick and tile, featuring a symmetrical front (south) with two storeys and an attic, comprising five windows, along with a wide one-window addition on the east side from the middle date. The walls are made of red brickwork in Flemish bond, with blue headers on the later wing, cement plain architraves, and stone cills. The windows are Victorian sashes, with early 19th-century sashes in the east wing. The house has three gabled dormers with bargeboards and sashes.

A Doric porch with an open pediment and panelled soffit is supported by two pilasters and two columns with fluted necking. It features a wide arched opening with a radiating fanlight and a six-panelled door. The original double-pile roof has been replaced with a flat centre, which overlaps with a tile-hung vertical section at the top of the front slope, and includes sash windows, with the west side featuring an oriel window in the end gables, flanked by chimneys.

The house has a shallow forecourt, with the east side bordered by a single-storeyed service wing of brick and tile, extending to the highway, and the west side enclosed by a high brick boundary wall in Flemish Garden Wall bond on a plinth.
