Carey House and Carey Cottage, Including Attached Gazebo on East, and Boundary Walls on North and East

Carey House and Carey Cottage, including the attached gazebo to the east and boundary walls on the north and east, is a country house. Originally a keeper’s cottage dating to circa 1860, it was constructed in a "cottage orne" style and significantly enlarged in 1922 in the "Arts and Crafts" style, designed by Alan Sturdy.

The original cottage exhibits brick walls, tiled roofs with enriched brick cornices beneath the verges, brick slacks with oversailing caps. Later sections feature rubble stone walls. The roofs are part stone-slated with carved bargeboards and part covered with asbestos pantiles. Plastered stacks are present. The house has an irregular split-level plan, with some parts two storeys high and others one storey with attics. The entrance front has a ground floor raised over a basement. A projecting gable on the left end features a stone mullioned window. Steps with solid balustrades lead to a flight of steps to the glazed oak doors in a Gothic style. An oak mullioned window with lead lights is also present. To the right of this is a projecting two-storey wing with a canted oriel oak mullioned window with lead lights on the first floor, and a projecting stone stack. Further to the right is the original cottage, showing a projecting gable and a circular oriel window on the first floor with brick mullions and sashes, flanked by plain sashes.

The garden front is two storeys high. A gabled projection on the right-hand end is open on the ground floor, forming a loggia. Above, a six-light oak mullioned and transomed window with lead lights is present. A timber louvre is in the apex of the gable. To the left is a two-storey range with oak mullioned windows with lead lights. Further left is the original cottage, which is one storey and has attics. A gabled projection includes a canted bay window on the ground floor, with a terracotta frieze above. A slightly projecting bay window is in the attic. An open brick porch with a tiled cornice and panelled door is also present.

The interior appears largely unaltered, and features oak panelling, an open timber roof to the main first-floor room, oak and stone fireplaces, and an oak stair with heavy turned balusters, all characteristic of the Arts and Crafts style.

The attached gazebo to the east is linked to the house by stone walls and has stone walls and a flat roof with glazed segmental arched openings. Stone boundary walls to the garden are also present, partly of serpentine form, and are contemporary with the house.
