Description

Rock House is an early 19th-century house, likely a rebuilding of an earlier structure on this site. It is constructed from stone rubble and features a slate roof with both hipped and gabled ends. The house has two storeys and a five-window range, with two and three-light casements that include glazing bars. The ground floor is distinguished by flat stone arches that have keystones. To the right, there is a doorway with a Victorian wooden gabled porch. The house also has brick chimney stacks located at the ridge and ends.
