Caswall House

Caswall House is an early 18th-century house, subsequently altered in the early to mid-19th century and later, now used as commercial premises. The house is constructed of painted brick with a plain tile roof. It is two storeys high with an attic, originally featuring two bays, with a single-storey outshut to the rear left and a taller block extending to the rear of the centre and right bays. A full-height pilaster is present at the right end of the facade. A slight step leads to the central entrance, which has a recessed 19th-century door featuring raised and fielded panels, beneath an overlight with geometric decorative glazing bars. The door surround has a wooden architrave with pilasters, console-bracketed dentil cornice, and a pediment. The windows are 20th-century 16-pane sashes set within segmental brick arches; these are paired under a single arch on the ground floor. A parapet runs along the top of the facade, finished with flat stone coping. The roof is hipped at the right end, and a flat-roofed dormer window with a 3-light casement is situated on the right side. The rear shows a catslide roof to the outshut. The left-hand block has a steeply-pitched gable to the left bay, with the roof sloping at a shallower pitch over the lower right-hand bay. Another steeply-pitched gable is present on the right return of this block, above an attic window.
