Description

The Watch House is a house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed from coursed, squared gritstone and has a horizontally punched stone slate roof. The building is designed in a polygonal, Gothick style and stands two storeys tall, with an entrance on the side.

The apsidal canted end features a central blind window with two lights on each floor, flanked by similar glazed windows. All these windows have Y-tracery, pointed arches, and leaded lights in the glazed openings. The house has a projecting embattled parapet and a hipped roof, which is topped with three diagonal-set ashlar stacks on a common plinth. A panelled door is located in the right return and is topped by a deep stone lintel.
