Description
No. 21 Old Road is a 17th-century house constructed from coursed marlstone rubble with some ashlar dressings and topped with a thatch roof featuring a limestone-ashlar ridge stack. The building has a two-unit through-passage plan and stands two storeys plus an attic. The front facade has two windows, which are stone-mullioned with two and three lights, accompanied by labels and a canted stone-roofed oven projection.
To the extreme left, there is a doorway with an early 19th-century chamfered stone basket-arched surround beneath a label with lozenge stops. The doorway to the extreme right features a stone-slated canopy supported by cusped brackets. On the first floor, there are two three-light casements with ovolo-moulded wood mullions. The stack is located to the right of centre, aligned with the oven projection.
At the rear, there is a central canted stair projection, small first-floor casements, and roof dormers, while the ground floor is obscured by later outshuts. The windows are fitted with leaded glazing, mostly in a lattice pattern. The interior has not been inspected.
