Description

This is a house dating from around 1840. It is built of rendered stone rubble with a low-pitched slate roof, deep eaves with shaped brackets, and moulded cast-iron gutters. Brick chimney shafts are also present. The house is arranged on a double-depth square plan, featuring two principal rooms of equal size at the front. An entrance passage runs between these rooms, leading to a stairwell and pantry behind the left-hand room and a kitchen behind the right-hand room.

The exterior is symmetrical, with a three-window front. It features original 12-pane sash windows with small horns. The central doorway is round-headed, with a semi-circular fanlight containing spider's web glazing bars, a late 20th-century glazed door, and a late 20th-century porch with a tent-shaped canopy supported by timber posts. The right-hand return elevation has a symmetrical two-window range of similar sash windows, although the ground floor window on the right has been replaced with a garden door. The left-hand side has a tall 15-pane stair window at the rear and a late 19th or early 20th-century lean-to conservatory to the right. At the rear, a 19th-century single-storey dairy outshut is present, with a small late 20th-century extension attached.

Inside, the original panelled doors and panelled internal window shutters remain, but the chimney pieces and plaster cornices have been removed. The original open-well staircase (almost a dog-leg) has a moulded stick balustrade, a moulded mahogany handrail ramped up to column newels and wreathed over a twisted iron curtain newel.
