Kent House

Kent House is a mine captain's house, now a residential property, built in the early 19th century with some later alterations. The building features rubble construction, with slate hanging on the front and rear above ground floor level, and rendered walls below. It has a slate roof, which is cement-washed at the rear, and rubble and brick gable stacks.

The layout consists of a double depth plan with narrow service rooms at the rear. At the front, there are two principal rooms heated by gable end stacks, one on either side of a central stair hall that leads to the rear, forming a lobby entrance. To the left, there is a smaller heated service room with its own gable end stack, while the rear rooms remain unheated.

The house has two storeys and three windows, all of which are 12-pane sashes with 4-pane sidelights in exposed boxes, except for the central 12-pane sash on the first floor. The entrance features a central panelled and glazed door with a triangular hood supported by wooden posts, and there is a buttress to the right.

To the left, there is a lower 1½ storey addition built against a stepped external stack, which has an oven projection on the side. This addition includes a 4-pane light at the front and is connected to a summer house with a small brick gable stack. The rear of the addition has a door, while the gable end of the main range features a half-glazed door, also slate-hung. On the first floor, there is a 4-pane sash and a 12-pane sash in exposed boxes, along with a 4-pane casement and a 2-light 6-pane horizontal sliding sash. The ground floor includes a single light, a 2-light casement, and another single light, with an external brick stack to the right.

The interior of the house has not been inspected. Kent House was named after the mine captain, Kent, and is located near Kent's Tor to the northwest, where open-air Methodist meetings were held.
