Description
Foundry House is a mid-19th century house located in Redruth, Cornwall. It is built of uncoursed killas rubble with granite quoins, and has a slate roof. The rectangular building follows a double-depth plan. The symmetrical facade has two storeys and three bays; a central doorway with a shallow overlight is flanked by two ground-floor windows and three upper windows. All the windows are 4-pane sashes set within rock-faced, quoined surrounds and lintels. The roof is hipped, with side-wall chimneys. The interior has not been inspected. The house is associated with Sara's foundry, approximately 30 metres to the north, and is included on the list for its group value. It has been recently repaired and renovated after a period of disuse.
