Description
Pierston House is an early 19th-century house with a later 19th-century cross-wing added to the left side. The walls are rendered, and the roof is tiled with a hipped form. A brick stack is visible partway along the ridge on the left, and there is a rendered stack at the end. The house was originally symmetrical in design, featuring a three-window front. It has 16-pane sash windows and a central panelled door, approached by a flat porch supported on Doric columns.
