Description
Waterloo House is a house dating from around 1815, constructed of limestone with an ashlar front and coursed rubble on the rest of the building. It features a Welsh slate roof with flat stone gable copings and rebuilt flanking ashlar chimneys. The house has two storeys and three bays, with a first-floor band course. The windows are three-pane sashes with stone lintels. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door topped by a semi-circular fanlight, a keyblock, and a stone porch. The porch is supported by attached moulded piers with capitals carved with oak leaves, and it has an open pediment hood.
On the left end of the house, there is a tall two-storey wooden extension. A later 19th-century wing at the rear forms an L-plan. In front of the original block, there are contemporary wrought iron railings with fleur-de-lys finials and a matching gate. The house was formerly known as St. Oswald, as indicated on the Ordnance Survey map.
