Rushdene

Rushdene is a house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations around 1800. It is built of coursed limestone rubble, with a stuccoed front, and has a gabled stone slate roof and brick end stacks, including a large stack with four flues to the right. The house follows a double-depth plan and stands two storeys and an attic, with a three-window front. A six-panelled door, with two glazed panels, is set within an early 19th-century moulded wooden architrave, which includes panelled reveals and a bracketed hood. The windows are six-pane sashes set within segmental stone surrounds. A raised storey band runs across the front, and there is a tall hipped roof dormer window with a six-pane sash. The rear of the house features two early 18th-century cross windows and a later 19th-century addition. Inside, the doors are 18th-century panelled. A room to the right contains a 18th-century alcove and a fireplace with a dentilled cornice. On the first floor, there is an early 18th-century bolection-moulded fireplace.
