Blake House

Blake House is a house dated 1760, located on the west side of High Street in Tideswell. It is constructed of evenly coursed squared limestone with gritstone dressings. The building features chamfered quoins, a moulded eaves cornice, coped gables, and intermediate and end ridge stacks with moulded caps. The roof is covered with concrete tiles.

The house has three storeys and five bays, originally fitted with glazing bar sashes, although the lower parts of these have had the glazing bars removed. Each window is set within moulded surrounds. The central doorway has a re-fixed segmental pediment supported by 19th-century moulded brackets. The doorcase is also from the 19th century, featuring a four-centred arched head and a 20th-century half-glazed door.

In front of the house, there is a low stone boundary wall topped with 19th-century cast iron spear-headed railings. The entrance includes two pairs of stone gate piers, which are square in plan and have depressed pyramidal caps. The lead downpipes on the main elevation have hopper heads that are dated 1760.
