Description
Cedar House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from around 1750, with a rear right wing added in the later 18th century, a left wing added around 1820, and a small wing at the rear that has origins from the 17th century. The building features a rendered exterior over coursed stone rubble and has a gabled slate roof with rendered end and ridge stacks. The main part of the house is a mid-18th century structure with a central staircase plan, and the additions create a double-depth layout.
The house is two storeys tall and has a symmetrical five-window façade. A 20th-century porch at the front features a bracketed flat hood over an 18th-century panelled door. The windows are twelve-pane sashes set within raised square-headed architraves. The right side wall has similar sashes and reset 18th-century doors, while the small rear right service wing, which has 17th-century origins, was remodelled in the early 19th century when its roof pitch was raised and widened.
Inside, the house has panelled doors with moulded wood architraves. The hall features mid-18th century skirting and a dog-leg staircase with turned balusters. The ground floor rooms have chamfered beams, with the room on the right containing an open fireplace with a chamfered bressummer, and the room on the left featuring a classical marble fireplace. The early 19th-century range at the rear includes reset 18th-century plank doors and a dairy with slate slabs set on turned balusters.
