Description

The Wheel is a house located in a row of houses, likely built in the 18th century. It is constructed from local slate rubble with red brick window arches and has a rendered and slate-hung rear. The roof is made of grouted scantle slate, featuring a gabled right end and a hipped left end, with some early crested ridge tiles on the link roof to the right. A large stone rubble chimney stack is situated at the right gable end, heightened with a rendered shaft.

The building's plan appears to consist of two front rooms and a central entrance hall passage, with smaller service rooms likely at the rear. There is a later single-storey rear outshut. The exterior has three storeys and is symmetrical with a two-window range. The original openings feature segmental red brick arches and 3-light casements with glazing bars. The original casements on the ground and first floors to the right remain intact, while the ground floor to the left has been altered in the 19th century, and the first floor to the left has a 20th-century replacement in the original opening.

A central second-floor window breaks the eaves with a taking slate roof and has a 20th-century casement. The central doorway, which has a segmental brick arch, features a canopy supported by original shaped wooden brackets, replacing what was likely a flat canopy. The door is a 20th-century plank door. At the rear, a projection is likely a truncated later stack. The interior has not been inspected.
