Description

Murray House is a house dating from approximately 1720, with an extension added around 1770 to the left and to the rear. It is constructed of limestone, squared to the left and coursed rubble to the right, with a gabled stone slate roof. A brick stack is located at the left end and a further stack laterally at the rear. The house follows a central-staircase plan, and is two storeys and an attic, originally featuring a five-window facade. A late 18th century scrolled bracket supports a flat hood above the front door, which is a sill-panelled door with a Gothic fanlight. To the left of the door are six-pane sashes, set within raised and keyed architraves, with a raised storey band above. To the right of the door are six-pane sashes with timber lintels, set within flat stone arches. Three dormers with 20th century casements are visible in the roof. The rear of the building features two six-pane sashes set in late 18th-century raised architraves. A two-storey wing of limestone rubble, with a gabled Welsh slate roof and a brick end stack, extends to the rear right. It contains a six-pane sash, a three-light leaded casement, and a four-light leaded casement in a contemporary rear outshut. The interior features a dog-leg staircase with a landing, and turned balusters on a closed string.
