Description

Oakley House is a house dating from around 1860, featuring plastered stone walls and a hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves. It has two plastered end stacks with modillion cornices. The layout includes two principal rooms on either side of a central stairhall, with service rooms at the rear, and is designed in the Italianate style.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front. The outer first-floor windows are two-light round-headed sashes with moulded arches, large keyblocks, and acanthus leaf consoles. The central window on the first floor is a similar one-light window with a segmental head. On the ground floor, there are two large three-light canted bay windows featuring pilasters, segmental heads, and dentilled cornices, all with original 19th-century sashes. The central porch has Tuscan columns and an entablature, with a round-headed doorway, a hoodmould with a keyblock, and a panelled door topped with a fanlight. The house also has rusticated quoins, and the projecting stacks on either side have blank windows. The interior is inaccessible but is likely to contain fairly complete joinery and plasterwork.
