The Lawn

The Lawn is a large, detached house dating from around 1820. It is constructed of random rubble limestone, formerly rendered, with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. The house is three storeys high with an attic, and includes a secondary block to the east that creates an L-shaped plan.

The main block on the front has a three-window arrangement. It features 12-pane sashes on the ground and middle floors, and a 6-pane sash on the upper floor, all with plain raised architraves. A central doorway has a projecting entablature supported by attached Tuscan columns, leading to a 6-panel fielded door with a rectangular cobweb fanlight. There is a hollow moulded eaves cornice with a blocking course. The roof is hipped, with a central flat-roofed dormer that contains a 6-pane sash. A ridge-mounted chimney has a moulded cap, and a projecting chimney with an eaves-mounted stack is located at the west end. The secondary block to the right is set back and has a two-window front, matching the main block, with additional small casements. A 20th-century flat-roofed addition is visible in the angle. Attached outbuildings at the east end are not of historical or architectural significance.

The rear elevation has a more scattered arrangement of sash windows, including a central narrow stair sash. A central doorway contains a 4-panel glazed door in a screen with an oval arch, and is sheltered by an iron porch. A later 19th-century single-storey rectangular bay with glazed doors extends to the right, and sash fenestration is visible on the secondary block, projecting forward to the left.

Inside, most sashes have panelled shutters. The staircase has stick balusters and open scrolled strings.
