Description
The Wheel House is a cottage built above stables, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed from painted stone rubble and features an asbestos slate roof with gable ends and a higher wing at the rear. The cottage has a two-room plan on the first floor, with external stairs leading to a doorway on the right side. Originally, the ground floor housed stables.
The building is two storeys tall, with an asymmetrical three-storey front that has two windows. The ground floor includes a 20th-century glazed porch on the left, which has a rendered base and a slate lean-to roof. The right-hand doorway leads to a store beneath a flight of stone rubble external stairs, which has a landing at the top supported by three timber corbels. This landing also supports a 20th-century glazed porch with a brick base. To the left, there are two 19th-century four-pane sash windows beneath brick segmental arches, while the second floor features smaller 20th-century sash windows. Inside the shop, the ceiling beams are exposed, and there is a blocked fireplace. The upper floors have not been inspected.
