Lake House

Lake House is a large farmhouse dated 1853, originally listed as Lake Farmhouse. It features dressed stone walls with Ham stone ashlar dressings and has a string course above the ground floor windows. The roof is covered with slate and has stone gable copings and moulded kneelers, along with stone stacks on the ridges and on the two north gables. There is a buttressed stack embrasure on the north wall. The building consists of two overlapping parallel ranges and includes a porch in the north-east angle. It has two storeys and attics with irregular fenestration. The ground floor has mullion-and-transom windows with 2 and 4 lights, featuring cast-iron casements with ornamental leadwork. The porch entrance to the north-east has moulded stone jambs and a depressed-arch head within a square frame. The spandrels are adorned with carved fleur-de-lis of Digby, and there is an ED with a coronet over the front doorway. The entrance features a plank door with strap hinges. The upstairs windows are designed with 2- and 3-light stone mullions, matching the ground floor style. On the south side, there is a single-storey scullery with a slate roof and stone gable coping.
