The Laurels

The Laurels is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the late 19th and late 20th centuries. The building is constructed from roughly coursed limestone and marlstone rubble, topped with concrete tile roofs featuring coped verges. It stands two storeys high with an attic.

On the facade, there are chamfered three-light mullion windows with dripstones flanking the central entrance. The entrance features a 20th-century half-glazed door set beneath a 20th-century flat-roofed stone porch, which has a moulded entablature and is likely made from earlier materials. Above the mullion windows, there are late 19th-century timber framed and roughcast gabled dormers in the roof slope. The building has integral ashlar end stacks with moulded capping, and there is a slightly lower late 19th-century range to the left that includes a contemporary gabled projection at the front, which also has three-light mullion windows with dripstones on each floor.

The interior could be of interest, although it could not be inspected during the resurvey in August 1987. A late 20th-century gabled projection at the rear is not considered to have special architectural interest.
