The Sheiling

The Sheiling is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the 17th century but was refaced in the 18th century. The building is timber framed and clad in galleted sandstone rubble, with brick dressings on the rear left. The front is finished with colourwashed brick and rubble, all under plain tiled roofs that are hipped to the rear left.

The structure has two storeys, featuring a gable on the right and a plat band over the ground floor on the left. There is a brick dentilled square stack on the left wing and a rebuilt square stack on the right wing. The windows are arranged irregularly, with four casement windows on the first floor, most of which are three-light. On the ground floor to the right, there is a three-light window with a cambered head.

To the left on the ground floor, there is a shallow angle bay window, and to the right of centre, two projecting square fixed office windows with glazing bars flank a three-quarter glazed door. There is also a half-glazed door to the left under a flat hood and another half-glazed door to the right. A weatherboard pentice is set back to the left, and there is a catslide roof at the rear left.
