Description
Hardacre House is a house with an 18th-century exterior that covers an earlier building. It is likely timber framed and is clad with painted brick, with a rendered left return. The roof is plain tiled and hipped. The house has two storeys set on a plinth, featuring a plat band and hipped roof with stacks located at the rear left and right. On each floor, there are two three-light wooden casements, with segmental heads on the ground floor. The central entrance has a boarded door within a hipped porch. Above the doorway, there is a raised plat band that features a quatrefoil-headed terracotta plaque of the Virgin to the right, along with a blacked entry. To the right of the main structure, there is a single-storey hipped extension.
