The Laurels

The Laurels is a house built around the mid 19th century. It features stuccoed walls and hipped scantle slate roofs with projecting eaves. The chimney was removed in the 20th century. The layout consists of a double depth plan with two equal front rooms on either side of a central entrance hall, which leads to a rear stair hall with a room on each side. Attached to the left is a one-room-wide service wing that extends further at the back.

The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front facing the road. It includes a granite ashlar plinth, stucco keystones, and stucco aprons beneath the first-floor windows. The central doorway features an original six-panel door, with the top four panels later glazed, and an overlight. In front of the doorway is a late 19th-century glazed porch with pilaster corners and a moulded cornice on its flat roof. The porch has horizontal glazing bars and an overlight with coloured marginal panes above the double doors. The ground floor windows are possibly original or from the 1870s and are four-pane hornless sashes, while the other windows are original twelve-pane hornless sashes. At the rear, there is a three-window garden front that also has original sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
