Description

Earnley Forge is an early 19th-century house that stands two storeys tall and features two windows. The building is constructed from coursed Mixon stone, with long and short quoins, red brick window dressings, vertical strips, an eaves cornice, and an ornamental diamond above the porch. The roof is hipped and covered with tiles, and the glazing bars remain intact. A later 19th-century porch made of white brick and flints includes a brick cornice with cogging. Attached to the house at a right angle to the northwest is the former forge building, which is a single storey and built of red brick, featuring two stuccoed buttresses.
