Description
Coswarth House is a house dating from around the mid-19th century. It has a stone rubble base and is likely constructed with a softwood timber frame, covered with rag slates. The roof is slate with hipped ends, and there is a brick lateral stack at the rear on the right side.
The house has a main range with a two-room single depth plan, featuring an entrance to the right of the center and a stair projection near the center at the back. There is a service wing with a one-room plan located at the rear of the larger right-hand room.
The exterior is two storeys high with a regular three-window front, showcasing original 19th-century hornless 12-pane sashes. The entrance is positioned to the right of the center and features a 19th-century panelled door, flanked by two sashes on the left and a single sash on the right. The first floor also has three sashes. A wrought iron verandah, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, spans the front elevation on the ground floor, supported by ornately decorated uprights and scrolled brackets in the spandrels, with a glazed roof. The interior has not been inspected.
