Causeway House

Causeway House is a detached house, originally a farmhouse, with late 17th-century origins. It was significantly extended and altered in 1804, with further alterations in 1961, including the relocation of the entrance. The house is built of squared coursed rubble with dressed quoins to the front, with rubble elsewhere. The roof is slate, with three eaves courses of stone slate to the west.

The plan consists of a gabled range from the 17th or earlier century, to which a second parallel range was added in 1804, creating a central valley. A lower range of outbuildings, later incorporated into the house, extends to the north. The house is accessed from the east side by a lane, likely the original road, which runs around behind it, creating an 'island' site.

The symmetrical east front has two windows and flat dormers with 12-pane sashes. Below the dormers are tripartite 4:12:4-pane sashes in yellow brick segmental heads, with wood sills to both the ground and first floors. The central doorway has a moulded arched surround with a keystone, plain tympanum, and a 12-pane sash and panel replacing the original door, set within pilasters. A worn flush stone plaque is set above the door, inscribed "THB (Buckler), 1804", although the date is almost erased by weathering, and there is also a fire insurance plaque. To the right is a set-back wing, which includes an early plank door under a covered area. The plain gables have four stacks. The south gable end contains an early, flush 6-panel door with a flat canopy on carved brackets, under a small 2-light window, added in 1961 when the doorway was relocated. The west front, the earlier range, features a large 24-pane staircase sash, flanked to the left by an early 4-light casement, with a later 3-light to the right. Near the left-hand end, at mid-height, there is a blocked square opening with a chamfered stone surround, possibly indicative of an early staircase position. The ground floor has inserted doors and windows to the low wing, two 3-light casements, and a former door opening filled with concrete block and a small light in the main range.

The interior, inspected only at ground floor level, shows that the 18th-century staircase has been removed and replaced with a 1961 stick stair closer to the south end of the west range; no evidence of early fabric remains.
