Sandhills, Including Entrance Walls To Front

Sandhills is a house dating from approximately 1893, designed by Mervyn Macartney in a free Tudor style. The front is constructed of red brick, while the rear features a timber frame with brick infill, incorporating a herringbone pattern in some areas. The roof is tiled, with a tall stack on the rear and right side. The house has a T-shaped plan, with a projecting wing on the right end. The front elevation is two storeys high, but the ground level drops to the left, resulting in a three-storey section on the left-hand return front.

The front of the house features a two-storey bay window at one end of the right wing. It has irregular wood mullioned windows, with three windows on the first floor to the right and one window in the corner bay rising through two floors. There is a two-storey entrance porch on the left side, topped with a parapetted gable. The porch includes a stone arched surround for the planked front door. A further door is located to the right, within a three-storey gabled projection in the re-entrant angle of the wing. The left-hand return front has a parapetted, stone-coped gable with a three-light mullion window on the second floor. Below this are two single, stone-dressed windows on the first floor, and a wide raised brick arch on the ground floor with a central keystone, visible wooden centring and panelling. Small flanking wooden panels are present with wall battering to the left. A red brick retaining wall to the right has stone coping, continuing across the front to form a courtyard wall and ending as two square stone-coped piers in the centre. The property is set within its own grounds which are bounded by entrance walls to the front.
