Description
This is a late 18th or early 19th century house, possibly incorporating elements of an earlier building, with later additions and alterations. It was later divided but is now a single dwelling. The construction is regularly coursed and dressed limestone rubble, with a concrete tile roof and coped verges. The house has a T-plan, with the main range likely originally consisting of three bays, although it was extended to the left; the straight joint of this extension is concealed by re-facing. The house is two storeys and has an attic. There are four late 19th century casement windows directly below the eaves, one to the left and three to the right, set in late 18th/early 19th century plain stone surrounds. Similar casements are on the ground floor, with an additional casement with a concrete lintel in the position of a former gabled porch (the outline of which is still visible) between the two left-hand windows. Several of the window surrounds on both floors have projecting keystones. A plank door with a glazed panel is behind a late 20th century gabled stone porch in the second bay from the right. There are three gabled dormers in the roof slope to the right, two of which have leaded glazing. Integral ashlar end stacks and a ridge stack (possibly a former end stack) are located to the left of centre, all with moulded dripstones and capping. The interior's character is not fully documented but is likely to be of interest. The house occupies a prominent corner position.
