Description
Quarry Heights, also known as Undershaw, is a house dating from around 1910, designed by M. H. Baillie-Scott in a Tudor style. It is constructed of brown brick with plain tiled roofs and features a stone-flagged entrance court. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a long projecting wing to the left and a shorter gabled wing to the right. It is built into a hillside, with a single-storey entrance range that is approached from the street and two storeys at the rear.
The right short wing has a cluster of six chimney stacks at its ridge, while the rear left has four diagonal stacks with tile-on-edge coping. The left wing has deep eaves and a leaded half dormer. The entrance features a glazed 20th-century door flanked by small casement windows. To the right of the entrance, there is a lower casement window under a tile-on-edge lintel, where the ground drops away.
In the angle of the re-entrant to the left, there is a two-storey gabled bay with a 2-light leaded casement window on the first floor and a cambered-head single light window below. The central range has two plain 3-light windows to the pentice left of centre, and a leaded window in the gable end of the right wing above a square bay window on the ground floor.
A ribbed door with a 4-centre arched head is located in the right-hand angle re-entrant, featuring carved spandrels and approached along a cloister of three bays, with the central bay supported by round pillars. The rear of the building includes a timber frame with render infill on the left, a canted bay under a turret roof to the left, and a wood-framed canted bay in the centre. The gable to the right has a large 3-light window on the first floor above casement doors with decorative leading. The original interiors of the house are largely intact.
