Description
Oak House is an early 19th-century dwelling in a row, situated on Church Street in St Briavels. The building is constructed from sandstone rubble with a concrete tile roof. It features one stone chimney stack slightly off-centre to the right and two brick chimney stacks. The two-storey facade has three wide-spaced windows, each with a 16-pane sash and a solid stone lintel detailed with voussoirs extending beyond the window opening in the form of 'ears'. A good six-panel door is set within a moulded surround, topped by a flat hood, molded edge, and stone brackets, and is positioned off-centre to the left. A stable door is located under a segmental head in the third bay. The house forms part of a modest row of buildings facing the grounds of the nearby castle.
