Description

Virginia House is a former house that has been converted into a residential home. It likely dates from the late 18th century or early 19th century. The front is rendered, appearing solid on the ground floor, while the upper floors are timber-framed. The building has a slated roof and features a late 19th-century red-brick chimney on the right gable end. It stands three storeys tall and is three windows wide. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door, with the bottom two panels flush and the upper four now glazed, set within panelled reveals and topped by a late 19th-century gabled hood. The windows are flush-framed, with 8-paned upper sashes on the ground floor, 8-paned lower sashes on the second storey, and 3 over 6-paned sashes on the third storey. The eaves are adorned with a bracketed cornice.
