Description

Druid House, including a stable located about 10 meters northwest, is a large house that appears to date from the early 19th century, although it may be a remodelling of an earlier structure. Minor additions, including the stable, were made in the late 19th century, possibly in 1892. The house features solid rendered walls with the front designed to imitate masonry, while the stable is constructed of stone rubble with red-brick dressings, both topped with slated roofs.

The house has a symmetrical appearance from the southeast, with a central block flanked by short wings; the right wing contains the front door, and the left wing was extended in the late 19th century. The rear of the house is irregular, likely due to one or more additions. The stable block is situated at the back of a narrow courtyard. The house is two storeys high with garrets, while the wings are single-storey. The central block has two windows, and the original wings each have one opening, with the left wing featuring a one-window extension.

The central block is adorned with plain triple-sashed windows and has a deep eaves-cornice supported by paired brackets. It also includes two gabled dormers with two-light wood casements and decorative bargeboards. The wings display rusticated flanking pilasters, and their fronts rise to a parapet that conceals the roof. The left wing has a French window, and the right wing features a five-panelled door with pilasters and an entablature. The extension to the left wing has overhanging eaves and a sash window with margin panes. The gable end of the left wing showcases shaped bargeboards with fleur-de-lys decoration and a finial, along with a coat-of-arms inset in the wall with the date 1892. The side wall of the right wing has a two-light granite-mullioned window, likely from the late 19th century, with glazing bars forming Gothic arches and coloured glass. Additionally, there is a stone mounting-block set into the rear wall of the house, and the stable features wood casement windows with glazing bars and a wood bell-turret.
