Description
Roger Ground House is a house that likely dates from the 18th century, with a 17th century wing at the rear. It is constructed of roughcast stone and features slate roofs. The building has two storeys and two bays, with a lean-to outshut on the right side. Notable architectural details include a corbelled frieze and wide eaves. The windows are tripartite sashes with glazing bars, and there is one window in the outshut. The entrance features a two-panel door and a gabled trellis porch, and there are gable-end stacks.
The rear wing has two-bay returns with small-paned casements and an entrance on the left return. The gable-end of the wing has four-light wooden chamfered-mullioned windows with intermediate bars. The rear side has two bays, with dripstones above the ground floor entrance and window, which features a casement. The first floor includes two wooden mullioned windows of three lights with transoms, intermediate bars, and leaded glazing with rectangular quarries. There is also a flat-topped dormer window with a stack on the left. The interior has not been inspected.
