Description
Prospect House is a detached house likely dating from the early 19th century. The house has plastered walls, a hipped thatched roof, and brick stacks with ornamental caps on the ridge. It is two storeys high and includes a gabled porch with an elliptical archway. On the ground floor are two double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, while the first floor has three similar windows. A 20th-century extension, built in a matching style, is located on the north side, incorporating a garage on the ground floor and a matching double-hung sash window on the first floor. A small projecting bay is situated at the south end of the building.
