The Hop House

The Hop House is a house dating from 1870, with restoration work undertaken in the 20th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with brick quoins and brick dressings to the ground floor, and timber framing above with herringbone brick infill, whitewashed render infill, and some patterned tile hanging. The roof is covered in plain tiles.

The house is two storeys high with an attic. The first floor slightly projects over brackets, with a drip hood above the ground floor. Decorative diamond and ogee framing is present under the first-floor windows, with a moulded band above, and a shallow attic projection featuring a similar drip board. The front of the house has three gabled attic windows, each with three lights and leaded glazing, incorporating a diagonal cross frame to the apron below. The first floor also has three windows with three lights and leaded glazing. The ground floor has a four-light mullioned and transomed window on either side; beneath a common lintel, leaded, glazed, cambered head casement doors are positioned at the ends of the frontage.

The left-hand return front, now the entrance front, features a tile-hung gable and a first-floor cambered head window and two ground-floor cambered head casements, both dating from the 20th century. To the left is a lower two-storey sandstone range with brick-dressed casement windows. A gabled porch with brick infill is set between timber posts in the centre of the ground floor.
