Description
The Grove is a detached house dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It is constructed of squared rubble stone with a stone slate roof featuring coped verges and ashlar stacks with moulded capping. The house has two storeys and three windows on its principal facade. A central six-fielded panelled door is set within a chamfered stone case, topped with a flat stone hood supported by brackets. Flanking the door are two 12-pane sash windows in plain ashlar surrounds. The first floor has three matching 12-pane sash windows, also in plain stone cases. An 18th-century wing adjoins the main house to the right, with a steeply pitched pantiled roof and wooden casements. A flat-roofed 20th-century extension is located to the rear. The interior was not inspected.
