Description
Rowdale House is a building that combines a house and barn, dating from the late 17th century, 18th century, early 19th century, and late 20th century. It is constructed of rubble limestone with gritstone dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof and stone coped gables featuring moulded kneelers. The building has two storeys and a south elevation with five bays. The central two bays are the oldest part and include a doorway with massive jambs and a lintel, topped by a bracketed stone hood and a 19th-century half-glazed door. To the right, there is a 19th-century glazing bar sash window in a stone surround, with two 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows above. The building was extended to the west in the 18th century, adding a 2-light square section flush mullion window on each floor. To the east, there is a doorway with chamfered quoins and lintel leading to 20th-century glazed double doors. The two-bay barn on the right was converted into part of the house around 1984 and features traditional-style mullion windows.
