Description
Breadstone House is a detached house built in the early to mid-19th century, featuring a front that incorporates a small late 18th-century core and late 19th-century additions that create two rear ranges. The front is made of ashlar stone, with some render on the left-hand return and the rest in coursed rock-faced masonry. It has a concrete tile roof, with twin polygonal ashlar flues at the rear of each front gable, and remaining ridge stacks made of brick with moulded stone cappings, alongside two large stepped stone lateral stacks.
The front of the house is designed in the Gothick style, showcasing two steeply pitched gables adorned with elaborate decorative barge boards and fascias. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and consists of three bays. Each side of the first floor features canted four-light oriel windows in moulded stone frames with hipped stone roofs, while below them are projecting two-light square bays, also framed in moulded stone. The gable windows and the central first-floor windows are designed with two-light stone mullions and square hoodmoulds, all featuring interlaced Gothick tracery.
A central projecting porch enhances the entrance, complete with castellated corner turrets and an embattled front parapet. The porch has a wide pointed front archway, two narrow side arches, and two niches flanking the door, which are supported by thin colonnettes and feature multi-cusped open tracery heads. The door itself is set within Gothick panelling, with quatrefoils inset in the central rail, and is topped by a fanlight with graduated pointed-arch tracery.
