Description
The Villa is a house from the early 19th century, constructed with rendered rubble and brick, featuring a pyramid slate roof. The building has stacks that rise from the eaves on the returns, with the left side being roughcast and the right side rebuilt in brick. It is a double pile house that adjoins a cottage to the north. The structure is two storeys high with three bays, and it includes 16-pane sash windows. There is a central flat-roofed porch supported by console brackets and sturdy monolithic granite piers that have residual capitals. The right side of the house, which faces the road, has a similar window on the first floor and another below it on the ground floor, set within a shallow slate-roofed projection. The granite columns appear to be designed to support something much heavier than the lightweight porch canopy, which is likely not original to the building.
