Description
This is a detached house, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a very steeply pitched hipped roof covered in stone slates. The roof has a wood modillion cornice and a large ashlar and brick stack with a moulded capping and skirt, with a saddleback to the main roof slope, is located on the left side. The front elevation facing the road is two storeys and an attic, with a small hipped dormer containing a sash window. The first floor has a two-light transomed, hollow-chamfered mullioned window with a flush surround, over a 16-pane sash window with a broad surround. A lean-to extension is present on the left. The main entrance front, on the right, is also two storeys and an attic, four-windowed, with a single hipped dormer and two-light cross-mullioned casements mirroring the street facade. One window is blocked. A large sash window with glazing bars is located to the left of a blocked doorway with a plain elliptical oculus above it. On the south wall, the ground floor includes a three-light mullion and transom casement. A 20th-century door now provides access on the east front, but an original doorway with a four-centred moulded head (without a door) is located adjacent to the stack on the original outer wall. The interior features two "Tudor" fireplaces, potentially dating to the 17th century, which have been raised and modified. There are various stepped chamfer beams. The house lacks an original staircase.
