Description

The Rock, including the gateway adjoining the south, is a house built around 1830-1840. It features a stuccoed exterior and a slate roof with gabled ends, shaped barge-boards, and deep eaves adorned with lion masks at the gutters. The building has two storeys and a window arrangement of 1:3, with the left side recessed slightly and featuring a two-storey canted bay. The sash windows have glazing bars and margin panes. On the ground floor, there is a canted bay on the right side. The left side has a glazed porch with a tented roof, which originally extended to the right as a verandah across the front. At the right end, there is a small window with a two-centred arch. A brick chimney stack is located at the gable end, and there are parallel ranges at the rear. The gateway to the south has 19th-century granite jambs and a reused 15th or 16th-century moulded four-centred stone arch, which features quatrefoils above and a mask at the apex.
