Foundry House

Foundry House is a mid-19th century house, dated 1864. It is constructed with rubble hidden by a rendered finish, and has a bitumen-covered slate roof with overhanging eaves, soffit boarding and decorative brackets to the gable ends. The house has a double pile plan, with a gable end facing the road. The front, which is the gable end, is two and a half storeys high with two bays. It features nine-pane windows in the attic storey, a 20th-century louvred glass window on the first floor (left side), a blocked opening to the right, and a nine-pane window on the ground floor to the left of the central entrance. A gabled porch with an arched opening supported by decorative brackets provides access; it contains a panelled door. In the apex of the gable is a male bust wearing a double-breasted suit with three rows of buttons, accompanied by the initials "E N" and the date 1864. The right return, or garden front, is two storeys high with three bays, featuring twelve-pane sash windows and a central arched opening. A single-storey, three-bay wooden verandah, now covered with plastic sheeting, extends along the front.
