Description
Ham House is a large detached house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of squared and dressed stone with alternating flush quoins and features a stone slate roof. The house has a brick end stack on the right with a stone flue and a stone ridge stack. It is a long single range of two storeys and an attic, with a low rear wing to the right that has an asbestos tile roof.
The front elevation has four windows; to the left, there is a blocked 16-pane sash window, and to the right, a blocked 3-light casement window with a stone lintel. The remaining windows are set in flush stone surrounds. On the ground floor, there is a similar blocked window to the left, and to the right, two casements, one with two lights and the other with three lights, both with surrounds matching those of the first floor.
The central entrance features a recessed door with six flush panels, framed by a round-headed raised stone architrave and a radial fanlight, topped by a plain wall. There are two widely spaced hipped dormers on the eaves, each containing small casements. The rear of the house has scattered fenestration. Additionally, there is a mounting block attached to the right-hand return of the building.
