Description
The Wheel House and Twin Cottage are a pair of attached estate houses built around the mid-19th century. They are constructed from local stone rubble with a rendered front and feature a grouted scantle slate roof with gabled ends. The front has two gables, each adorned with pierced wooden bargeboards, finials, and pendants. A large central axial stack has a square main shaft and diagonally set attached shafts at the front and back, complete with moulded yellow day pots.
The layout consists of two mirror-image houses, each with a principal room at the front, a side entrance porch, and a service room at the rear in a central wing. In the 20th century, an extension was added behind the left-hand house. The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical two-bay gabled front. The ground floor features two canted bays with original casements that have lozenge and diamond-shaped panes, topped with slate hipped roofs and moulded eaves cornices. Above, there are two 2-light casements with glazing bars, where the right-hand light of the right window retains its original glazing bars with lozenge and diamond-shaped panes.
On either side of the front, there are original 19th-century open gabled porches with pierced bargeboards, each leading to doorways in the side walls. An original casement on the first floor of the right-hand gable end also features lozenge and diamond-shaped panes. The interior has not been inspected.
